Answer
Distribution across zones prevents outages from zone-wide failures.
Quick Answer
Multi-zone topology spreads Pods across availability zones — a cloud zone failure (power outage, network partition) only takes down Pods in one zone. With Pods in 3 zones, you survive any single zone failure with 2/3 capacity. Without zone spreading, all Pods could land in one zone — a single failure brings down everything.
