125% DPI on windows, and similarly, large font on Android systemwide, regularly cause problems.
Should software accomodate those settings or is that up to the user? What's the HN consensus oh that?

So another way to phase the question: "Should a user need to change a Windows' default setting for my site to work correctly?"
Adding support for different zoom levels is not the same as just making a website responsive (there are differences in behaviour if I remember correctly).
UI development has always been developing for the most common denominator and then the best you can make it for the most amount of users.
If the user has a manual zoom in the browser, there's not much you can do from a developer perspective.
You can achieve some flexibility in layout for device, resolution and pixel ratio constraints using CSS media queries, it just depends how granular you want to go and how much time it takes to implement all the use cases from a business perspective (from experience)
Almost all Macbooks DPI is > 100%.
Majority of the new mid-high end windows laptop DPI > 100%.
I don't think that matters developing web apps. Unless you are confusing with Ctrl/CMD + Plus font size increase.
