I see there's a use counter for 'zoom' (with a value other than 1) for  
Chrome:

https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/691

~0.9% is pretty high...


Usage of 'zoom' (any value):

https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/css/timeline/popularity/19

~42%, crazy high. It's not clear to me if zoom:1 is a no-op or if it does  
something.
