Strings slide through nut slots, but grate over the top of a zero fret when tuning. It's a much smaller contact point on a zero fret. If it was that small on a bone nut it would wear down almost instantly

Always loved the zero feet on Shergolds but they wore pretty easily making clean bends a challenge
I've not got personal experience of the zero fret, but I don't find nut wear to be an issue on a normal guitar. I've got a Strat that I've had from new that now needs a refret. It's still got the original nut, and I've had no problems with it. It might need replacing with the refret, as the new frets will be higher as the current frets have been stoned off twice.
