Because
1 it is a result of subtruction of word's positions
2 <0> could be used as special case like a word with two infinitives:
# create text search dictionary xx (template = 'ispell', 
DictFile='ispell_sample', AffFile='ispell_sample');
# alter text search configuration english ALTER MAPPING FOR asciiword WITH xx, 
english_stem;

# select to_tsvector('english', 'bookings');     to_tsvector
---------------------- 'book':1 'booking':1

# select to_tsvector('english', 'bookings') @@ 'book <0> booking'; ?column?
---------- t
(1 row)
