When setting the scale of an axis to 0 in the inspector, it's not possible to change it using the tools in the scene view (as it is not possible to set the scale to 0 with the tools). This is an expected behavior, as you don't want that value to be changed when manipulation all axis for instance (0 must remain 0). This is also an behavior used by other DCCs such as Blender for instance.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a project
2. Create a Cube GameObject (GameObject > 3D Object > Cube)
3. Set one of the axis Scale values to 0 in the Inspector
4. Select Scale Tool in the Scene window
5. Scale the Cube with the Scale Tool on the same axis that was set to 0

Actual results: GameObject does not get scaled
Expected results: GameObject gets scaled

Reproducible with versions: 2021.3.56f1, 2022.3.66f1, 6000.0.57f1, 6000.2.3f1, 6000.3.0b1

Tested on (OS): macOS Sequoia 15.4 (M4), Windows 11

Note: Issue is also reproducible when scaling all axis at once with the Scale Tool
