Let's say I have a scan with extra stuff around the page: I'm making a selection with the crop tool, then zooming in to fine-tune corners and edges... I point the cursor near a corner, start scrolling and end up with the corner I'm interested in out of view.
If I use CTRL I can zoom in and out where my cursor is, but I have to press it every single time, and it slows zooming down (scroll goes 50% - 66.7% - 100%, CTRL+scroll goes 50% - 55% - 60.5% - 66.6% - 73.2% - 80.5% - 88.6% - 97.4%)
That's with the crop tool, since I can keep CTRL down with no adverse effect, but if I wanted to fine-tune a selection, I'd have to let go of CTRL and press it again every single time, since CTRL+drag on a vertex just creates another selection anyway.
It is the self centering bit that I do not follow. Set the mouse wheel as previously described and it zooms in (or out) centered on the cursor, the same as using the zoom tool.
For those that might come across this post a 1 minute video https://sendvid.com/ivohcnzd (no audio) showing scroll wheel only.
Of course you do not want that. Put in a feature request to the Gimp Developers. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues
