Well, 15% is 10% of 150%.
I cannot get to 200% that way.
You need to set default zoom to either 100% or 200% to achieve that.
Also, once one has used the slider, one cannot get "round numbers"
anymore. I suggest to change it to how Word does it: the +
and - buttons always get you to "round numbers" with steps of 10%.
Then, for example, you can get fast to a certain point by using the
slider and then adjust to a round number with +/-.
This does not make sense to me, as you'd get a smaller range with 200%
default zoom that way. The larger the default, the larger the steps.
20% jumps make perfect sense to me on my setting with 200% default
zoom.
Word does not have the concept of an adjustable default zoom AFAIK.
They always have 100% as mean value. Same for Libre.
It might not make sense to you but now you know that it does to some
people who are using not 100% or 200% zoom default and rather, say, 150%
like the system default (at least on macOS).
Anyway, for system default, there is a solutions that seem compatible
with your position:
Set the system default to 100% (and even better make the system default
so that it matches the actual size of the font). There was a discussion
about this on the list if I remember correctly.
That leaves people who are not happy with system default in the rain.
You would lose round numbers that way, but I guess that is acceptable to
you if you are consistent.
Alternatively, just name whatever is set as the default 100%?

And in order to not confuse users about different percentages, we would
call the "Default zoom %" just "Font scaling %" or so. It's already in
the Preferences font section anyway between fonts and font sizes, so the
user will make the connection easily.
So, the default zoom will always be 100% but the default font scaling
can differ. This makes 10% increases round numbers.
This will also make setting the font scaling to something more
reasonable appear less strange. For example, on macOS the default zoom
is currently 150% while something closer to 152% is a better
representation of the actual font size on screen. We can calculate the
exact number from the DPI of the display and set it as system defaut and
also provide a "Reset to system default" button next to the "Font
scaling %".
If the approach sounds reasonable, and no one else wants the job, I can
prepare a patch.
