Because I haven't. I have only seen zergs reinforce advantages they already have, contain opponents with mutalisks and nydus worms, and lose games that they supposedly to have advantages in. I have never seen a zerg come back from a macro disadvantage.

Zerg definitely do come back from macro disadvantages, but it is less likely at the highest level of play for sure. Lower skill players make enough mistakes that anything can happen, but in the Idra vs Jinro situation, Idra surmised that the chances of Jinro making a dumb mistake was practically zero, so I can't blame him for prematurely GGing.
See a lesser player like myself would have tried to do something like in-base hatch (for larvae and creep), spine crawler, or nydus, but Idra just knows that stuff isn't going to work against a player like Jinro, so why bother.
Nevertheless I wish Idra would have kept playing just to demonstrate how difficult/impossible it is to come back from that situation, even if he knows he's going to lose. At least it would have been more fun to watch for the fans. That's a lot to ask though, and I don't blame Idra for leaving the game, especially if it gives him more mental energy for his next game.
