only if you hit one tab to many. if you are careful to stop hitting tabs
as soon as the list appears, and then type the right letters to make the
selection, then zsh does allow you to operate like fish.

or if the zsh style selection can be done with arrow keys then those not
wanting to use it would not be affected at all. (note that currently
arrow keys are used to scroll through a long list of selections, so
adding highlighting to a particular choice while doing so would be quite
natural)

as said above, zsh style doesn't prevent doing that.
