Hi Alex, There's a bit of confusion here. I may get myself in trouble here, but I will say this: the off-the-shelf accessibility on the Mac is notches more complex than the off-the-shelf accessibility in Windows. I haven't used Zoom for the Mac, and don't know if it has the same magnification features as ZoomText. Someone else can speak to that. However, if I were to choose between Narrator for Windows and Voiceover for the Mac, there just isn't a comparison, and I really wouldn't try. Voiceover winds hands-down. It's a fact that there are more accessibility features in the Mac screen-reader than for Narrator. Again, I can't speak to Zoom for Mac, so I don't know if the parallel for magnification is valid.
