That is because the object in question is in Model Space, seen through a Paper Space Viewport -- it is not in Paper Space. Try drawing something actually out in Paper Space, give it a discernible lineweight, and Zoom in and out to see the difference.

If you have the viewport active and unlocked you probably won't see a lineweight difference. If you lock the viewport or use the pspace command to get in paperspace and then zoom in and out you should see a difference.

In observation I see,

Zoom

unlock,outside→ yes

Lock,outside→ yes

unlock,inside→ no

lock, inside→ yes
