If memory serves well, this wasn't ever possible on mobile devices in the first place. Countless times I've googled an image of something I want to show someone, found a result, clicked on it to zoom in (because the image search result page doesn't support zoom) and ended up on a page that doesn't even contain the image itself. I'm not sure what limitations were the rationale for not providing this option on mobile but selling this change as an improvement is ridiculous -- especially when it was made to avoid (more) legal issues.
