FWIW, if this is about binding `C-+' to do this
by default then I'm against it. (Just one opinion.)
Anyone can add such a binding, if s?he wants.
The argument that "other applications" have such
a binding is a pretty weak one, in general. And
I think it's pretty weak in this case too.
If it's really important to provide this because
users are used to such a binding in other apps
then provide a toggle function (e.g. global minor
mode) that binds that key. But don't bind it
by default. (The mode could also bind `C--', if
that's also important for those used to outside
bindings.)

FWIW:
I zoom buffer text and frames (face `default') all
the time - many times a day. I use `C-' plus mouse
wheel, which is also what "other applications" do.
Or I use `S-mouse-1' and `C-S-mouse-1'. Or I use
`C-x C--' and `C-x C-='.
But I make such bindings myself - I don't expect
Emacs to do that by default.
