If one announces "Runway Two Zero" but the "Zero" is cutoff the listener
thinks "Runway Two". Announcing "Runway "Zero Two" prevents this
possibility.
Obviously this problem only occurs with a limited number of runway
alignments.

The "Runway Zero Two" for someone speaking at 120 words per minute
occupies 1/2 second more than "Runway Two."
