They did make another attempt at it for apps with Dynamic Type though.

User scale and device scale are combined into one scale factor as far as the layout / rendering engine is concerned and thus are solved in the same way.

I'm certain that web style scaling is what the vast majority of desktop users actually want from fractional desktop scaling.
Thinking that two finger zooming style scaling is the goal is probably the result of misguided design-centric thinking instead of user-centric thinking.
