Because IMO it does not fit the lore. <snip> Oh come on, Zomboid isn't some long established, set in stone, intellectual property - it's a game still in development. If we are meant to take the game in its current state as a canon representation of the exact lore of the world in every detail, the car was never invented and yet people made roads, every single person in Kentucky is infected except one (or a handful, if in multiplayer), ladders are only for show and not for climbing, and the rest of the world doesn't even exist. Besides, there have been a few times a character of mine has died in their (used to be) safe-house, and when returning there is a zombie in the safe house looking exactly like the character... can't confirm, really, if it's the same zombie, but I can assume.
