Unfortunately off-by-one errors can be insidious and non-obvious to debug, having different systems only complicates this. 0-indexing makes sense for systems and computer programming while 1-indexing makes translating math more straightforward. Inter-converting between the two systems is unfortunately non-trivial, even if the cost isn't that high.
