Zero trust is a good concept turned into a dumb practice. Basically people buying Google's koolaid for this forgot about "defense in depth". Yeah, authenticating every connection is great, throwing a big effing moat around it too is better.
The other thing is most companies are not Google. If you're a global company with hundreds of thousands of people who need internal access, moats may be non-ideal. For a business located in one place, local-only on-premise systems which block access to any country which they don't actively do business with is leaps and bounds better.
