Because the middle ground is what happens in real life. Many sites have poorly designed mobile experiences that zoom helps fix. I personally have my mobile Chrome set to over-ride site viewport settings to always allow zoom.<p>For example wikipedia (used to?) disable zoom while making all their pictures small. But what if the picture has the information you want to see?<p>This is because a lot of content on the internet is long form reading with pictures, and ideally you&#x27;d want the middle ground, responsive quick scrolling with the ability to zoom on pictures, infographics, etc. and then zoom out again to carry on reading.<p>And before you say it, all picture viewers on mobile suck. We already have an amazing, built in solution.
