I do not think that the cross-platform part is relevant: LyX should feel 
like a macOS application on macOS. It is more important to feel right 
for macOS users than for users who use LyX on multiple platforms IMO.

I do not think we should introduce a change that make all user have to 
change their setting when upgrading LyX. We could change the default 
default zoom to be computed, though.
