Would be nice to have a standard accessibility header that the client could send to request these kinds of things, like "always enable zoom."
In lieu of that, maybe consider having an "accessibility options" cta on first interaction.

For not disabling zoom the header does not even help because developers blindly copy pasting the <meta name="viewport" ...> line so that broken by default mobile browsers won't fuck up their responsive design are not going to handle that header. Like many accessibility issues, zoom is not something that only benefits a subset of the popultaion. The solution is to no disable zoom for anyone except the 0.01% of pages (only very specific web apps really) where zoom does not make any sense AND interferes with some other behavior (e.g. multi touch).
