Size isn't everything.
Holding something 2ft from your face is not the same as watching something that's 10ft away, regardless of relative size. The viewing angle is almost certainly different (i.e. you're more likely to be looking down rather than ahead), which can result in neck strain or discomfort for many people over prolonged periods. Similarly, focusing your eyes on something 2ft away means more exertion for your eye muscles, especially as almost everything else in your field of view is further away, forcing your eyes to work harder to re-focus should you glance away from the screen even for a moment.
