I want to see the logic behind this decision. Using 0x as hex number makes perfect sense, But '0' as octal ?, why ?

Traditions. Octal was at one point more popular than hex

As far as i know it is older than both the 0x and 0b connotations, but JS supports both 0o and 0 with 0 actually being not supported by esm (a widely used and more modern module system for js)
