Why is 0 plural? Like 0 seconds or 0 apples.
It is only plural when referring to objects you can count discretely (eg.
zero matchsticks). Zero does not pluralize a noun which can't be quantified
(eg. zero tolerance, zero effort). Grammatically, zero is synonymous to not
any, and since any refers to an arbitrary number of countable objects, we
pluralize the noun it goes with (eg. I do not have any apples).
