Please forgive my ignorance. If I may ask, why? What's the reasoning?

I think of the active-cell line marker in a similar way as other auxiliary UI
elements:

* auxiliary lines such as active-cell border line mark, selected-cells
background color, trace-dependent and trace-precedent lines and arrows, the
fill handle, comment indicator... are all examples of a secondary auxiliary
layer;

* cell contents, cell results, graphs, and even cell borders applied by the
user, are part of one main layer.

So, again, please forgive my ignorance... I don't see the reason to make the
auxiliary artifacts directly proportional to the zoom factor exactly the same
as cells, graphs and other main items. I can understand the possible need to
tweak the auxiliary layer when it is not displayed adequately under some
conditions (color contrast, screen resolution, zoom factor, dark theme...), but
growing/shrinking these auxiliary items proportionally to zoom factor would
seem to me (and to my workflow) a negative point. OTOH, I'm just a common user
that might not understand enough about UX.
