That's a nonsensical statement.  In practice, I believe there are at 
least 3 fundamentally different zooming implementations on the market 
that have quite different behavior in various situations.

If you want a font to be the same physical height on a tablet, a phone, 
and a laptop, you're doing it wrong.  They have three different viewing 
distances!

If this is the use case people want "real" physical units for, that's 
the best argument I have ever heard for NOT having such units.
