Oh, sure. There's plenty of kludges that you can use to work around the inaccuracy of the finger + capacitative touchscreen combo. The problem with zooming is that you can't pinch-zoom with just one hand, and the doubletap-zoom sometimes wouldn't zoom in enough. Also it makes the workflow of the really simple operation that little bit more complicated: doubletap somewhere nearby, wait for the zoom, find the link again, tap. As another example, in the Android browser a long press on a link will highlight the link after half a second, and pop up a menu after a second. So you can start pressing on the link, wait for it to get highlighted, and then quickly either "commit" by lifting the finger or "rollback" by dragging it away from the link. Pretty horrible, right? But at least I occasionally find even that to be more convenient than zooming.
