iPad mini (latest as of 2021) fonts size issue

I made the text size larger and safari default zoom set to 125%, yet some fonts are ridiculously small, I.e. the fonts in the safari tabs and other texts in some apps are too small to read and making the text larger makes some fonts to be well.... too large that I can even read it across the room lol. I don’t have that issue in my iPhone 7 though.

see screenshoot, I circled some text that is stubbornly too small.
