This may be the case in office/productivity software. But in graphics software, zoom with scroll-wheel (no modifiers) is industry standard.
Nuke, Fusion, Krita, 3D Studio Max, Resolve, Combustion, Flame, Shake, Photoshop, Painter, Premiere, After Effects, Lightroom, Darktable, ZBrush, C4D, Modo, SketchUp, ComfyUI, Mari, Unity, Godot, Unreal, GameMaker, Xviewer... practically every app I've ever used zooms with scroll wheel. No keyboard modifier needed.
GIMP is more a graphics app than an office/productivity app, so it would be both logical and intuitive to follow industry standard conventions and simply zoom with scroll wheel.
