Because then you bleed out, vs muta, lurker, etc. It's not about cost lost, it's also about everything else falling behind due to sunken costs in cannons. ZvP is imba due mostly to the early stages, but what else is new?

Are hydra allins op or protosses too hopeless at scouting/anticipating them?
I think this is THE issue with PvZ, protoss has no reliable means to scout at this phase, they have to guess, if they are wrong -> they die, if they guess correct the game goes 50/50
Outside of this the race has all the means to fight toe to with zerg, but this guessing phase is quite devastating for the overall win rate in the match up

Precisely. Zerg gets a free chance for the kill, and can still fight on equal terms later, in general.

Yeah I understand this, but I saw a protoss timing in some games where they start cannons in a way that they are almost ready when the corsair reaches zerg base and if they see nothing they cancel them, but perhaps its not applicable every game

We need to revisit robo openers against zerg! I mean when Kingdom, Nalra played zerg was playing totally different meta as well, on very different maps. I'm a fish D/F theorycrafter so there is of course 80% humour in this.

Only if you have a really strong backed-up hunch will you see this. Most of the time, it's a guessing game.

GO SNOW! Tempest is a great map for 2base carrier

I am also thinking that Protosses need to prepare perfectly to be competitive in this level and there is just not enough incentives for this in the post kespa era

What a funny zig-zag layout Snow is expanding, it's really interesting to watch tvp's on this map.

Ugh Snow. He’s just one of those guys who can’t perform in front of the cameras.
