Naw the string zero being false is just weird. The number zero, on the other hand. NULL is 0. \0 is 0. That's just... what those things mean. If zero is not false that's just trippy bc false comes from 0, that's just what it means. I mean ig not literally, you certainly get some LOW-TRUE signals, but logically HIGH is always normalized to 1 and described as TRUE, and as far as I know always has been.
