Normally people expect that everything scales if you are zooming in or out.
For example M-x text-scale-increase RET should scale images as well for
sure.
However, having font setup affecting the way images are displayed is
something new.  None of the software I've been using does so.  You can set
any default font size in Mozilla/Chrome/Opera without affecting image
sizes, but if you do "zoom-in", then everything zooms in, text and images.
Same for UI elements in Ubuntu for example, you can set font size to
whatever you want value without affecting image sizes, on the other hand
you have a "scaling" parameter, which affects everything - font size and
images.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification! I will just set
`image-scaling-factor` to the value I'm ok with
