No, it's a case of US and rest-of-the-world. As an American, I don't give a rat's ass what some standards committee says (especially if they're in another country), I prefer the zigzag resistors and other US-preferred symbols, and apparently most other Americans do too, as these symbols are still predominately used here.
Personally, I created my own symbols and saved them in my own personal library. It doesn't take long to draw a zigzag resistor symbol in Kicad. Besides, standards committees are basically useless. Just look at how useless the ISO was when MS came in and paid off a bunch of European countries to approve their broken OOXML "standard". Standards committees and their recommendations should be taken with a large grain of salt.
