Because some nodes in the lightning network have been configured to allow traffic to flow through them, even if they won’t receive any sats.

Tiny amounts in big channels or amounts being sent in a direction that helps to balance a channel or there are a few other situations where it might make sense.

Fees are set in milli-satoshis. When they are very low your wallet shows a rounded to 0 value🐸
