It's because the 12-hour AM/PM time is older than people being comfortable with the concept of zero.

Same laziness that keeps America from switching to metric. Learning something new is so scary. I had to recently learn to use an ergonomic keyboard because my aging ass is getting carpel tunnel and it took a mere 3 days to learn. That's it. Now my quality of life will increase and I'm feeling better. People are afraid to work at something new. It's human nature but we are smart enough to realize that and make changes. But lazy. So no.
