Description
At the moment it is set at 7 which is really high for trackpad users.
Should we consider lowering it so that there's a balance between trackpad and mouse users on first use?

Research direction
Start by locating the Editor camera's default zoom sensitivity value of 7 and inspect how it affects trackpad and mouse input. Done means choosing and applying a lower default that provides a reasonable first-use balance for both input types.
