pinch zoom in Apple Mail on Mac Book Pro

Does anyone know why Apple doesn't let us use pinch to zoom in or zoom out in Mail on our computers? It is such an "Apple" thing and Mail is an Apple Application. And it seems like pretty much the only thing the pinch zoom does not work on.

I can pinch to zoom in on Mail in my iPhone, just not on any computer.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12

Where is default zoom in/out capability in Mail App? If I just want to zoom email contents then I can use cmd and +/- to do that. My complaint is that I have to do it every time I read an email. The mail app should persist zoom settings. Recommended behavior: Every time a new email is being viewed the last zoom settings should be used to render the email contents. Therefore, the email content automatically gets zoomed-in/out when viewed and the user does not have to zoom-in/out manually each time an email is viewed. Checkout the following screenshots: Before zoom-in or the default zoom: After I manually zoom-in: (This should become default zoom level after every time I change the zoom level) (Check-out how nicely the zoomed in font is and readable as well):
