Consumers are usually willing to make trade offs for absolute reliability if they save lots of money. So while Zip might only be 99.9% reliable, it costs a lot less than the 100.0% reliable alternative. And Zip disks are also easy to transport and throw around, further adding to convenience. Zip has never been presented as the best technology, but rather as good technology hitting the right point on the consumer's price/performance curve. So even if Zip isn't 100% reliable, it offers what people want at a price they're willing to pay.
