> So, to circle back to what I originally said: if the responsive site breaks when zooming in on desktop, it breaks in exactly the same way as if the user came across without zooming, but with a smaller window size. No?

No, that is not the case. If you change the width but don't zoom the font size doesn't change until you reach a breakpoint. When you use browser zoom the font size changes with each increment or decrement.
