What is it with buying an RPi zero?
It has been out for a few years now but is never in stock anywhere for the advertised price of $5 ,it's sometimes available bundled with loads of crap you dont need for 10x this price, also you cant buy a qty of more than one anywhere.
If they've stuffed up the pricing and trying to reduce their exposure I am pretty sure a lot of people would be happy paying $10 instead.
I'm pretty sure there are more Tesla Model 3's being produced than Raspberry Pi Zeros :-)
