With the vast majority of gnome applications zoom is rarely used,
or not at all. Scroll is much more common. It pays in terms of usability
to have the most common actions accessible with as little hassle as
possible. That's why binding the wheel without modifier to vertical scroll
makes sense in the context of Gnome HID.
By contrast, zoom is one of the most common GUI actions in gschem and pcb.
There is a down side to the bindings suggested by the Gnome HID: You
always need both hands to navigate the layout or circuit. IMHO, this
downside outweighs the benefit of bindings compatible to other
applications.
BTW, Peter Clifton has this defined in his localized branch of pcb+gl.
