FWIW, I've previously proposed an optional enhancement
of resizing the window when you change text size by
scaling.  I implemented this and proposed the code, as
soon as text-scaling was introduced to Emacs. The
suggestion/request was summarily rejected.

The current request (#71085) is in the same vein.  Yes,
you can say there's no bug here, because text scaling,
as provided so far, is independent of windows, margins,
etc.

Nevertheless, some users might find it useful to be
able to resize such things when they resize the text.
Think _enhancement request_, not bug per se.
