The same documentation you linked says:
`.zprofile' is meant as an alternative to `.zlogin' for ksh fans;
the two are not intended to be used together, although this could
certainly be done if desired.
Is the intended use of .zprofile any different from the intended use of
.zlogin? If .zprofile and .zlogin are both meant to serve the same
purpose, then I'm not sure why one would be preferable over the other.
