1ec5 created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6618)
#6504 migrated the map control on the Dashboard page from Leaflet to MapLibre
GL JS. GL JS responds to zoom gestures incrementally, so it’s easy to
end up at a fractional zoom level. At fractional zoom levels, it underzooms or
overzooms raster tiles to fit. The OSM Carto maintainer points out in
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/6504#issuecomment-3656355664
that OSM Carto wasn’t designed to be underzoomed. Further work on #6234 would
expose fractional zooming to more prominent maps that show other featured
raster tile layers. Back when this site migrated to Leaflet, Leaflet didn’t
support a fractional zooming option yet (#1153), so we never really considered
this implication as far as I can tell.
The
[`roundZoom`](https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/API/classes/RasterTileSource/#roundzoom)
option avoids underzooming but exacerbates overzooming:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/1030#issuecomment-76043779. It
may also be possible to disable incremental zooming with the workaround in
https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/issues/1591#issuecomment-2748319483,
but I haven’t tried it to see if the user experience is similar to Leaflet with
this feature disabled.
Off the top of my head, [geojson.io](https://github.com/mapbox/geojson.io/) and
the [Valhalla FOSSGIS demo app](https://github.com/valhalla/web-app/) also use
the default tile zoom strategy. I’m unaware of any other sites that use
MapLibre to show raster basemap tiles with a different tile zoom strategy. On
the desktop, QGIS consistently overzooms raster basemap tiles, including OSM
Carto, but it also underscales the map on HiDPI displays: qgis/QGIS#63249.
