What does `fn RET' do in an Emacs window?  Or in any other window but
the terminal windows you cite above?

What is zooming?  Just maximizing the window or more?

Usually, terminal windows cannot be really maximized.  They want the
window height be a multiple of their font height + line spacing.

I doubt that a fullscreen terminal can display half a line at the
bottom.  So your borderless fullscreen is likely an artefact.
