Why is there a limit to zooming in on a picture? (piefed.social)

Basically the title.

Do pictures really need a limit to how far you can zoom?

It annoys me to no end when there's a larger image that I'd really like to zoom in to view a detail and I run into an arbitrary wall just too far away.

Do pictures really need a limit to how far you can zoom?

Well, once a single pixel fills the entire screen, I see no benefit to zooming in further, so that's where I would set the limit.

Summit's limit is significantly below that, though, which can be inconvenient.
