Because it's an expected feature of the web that has been in every browser since at least IE 3. If anything it is nasty that you can't pinch and zoom in apps, because there's no really good reason not to have it. That said I prefer my text smaller, have my phone at the smallest font size and rarely zoom in on text. I also wish there was a "remove the pointless whitespace" option and that other ui elements got smaller along with the text, but I'm rambling.
