Well the value doesn't change with zooming on neither Safari nor
Chrome. I am not sure about the Kindle either; I'm not even sure what
port it uses.

This is not now WebKit ports currently work. For me the 'device' part
of the name also makes it feel like a static value. Whether this
should be changed or whether we should add a way to get access to the
user scale (ie something like -webkit-page-scale), I don't know. Maybe
Hyatt has some input on this?

Do you have a link to some documentation for this?
