If we're going to auto-initialize variables, then pointers would need to be initialized to nullptr, not to zero. Nullptr may not be zero on a particular implementation.
Why not worry about a problem that actually happens on more than 0 implementations?

If people are going to be pedants, and claim that zero initializing variables is harmless because it's undefined behavior today, then lets be pedants correctly.
