To me each natural, including zero is a number of objects that can be in a (finite) set.
In my world a set can be empty, so that in my world zero is a natural number.

In my world (1,1,1,1,1,1,1) is a list, but not a set.
In my world a list with the same thing appearing in it more than once, like your (1,1,1,1,1,1,1) cannot ever be a set. And the set of elements appearing in such a list is {1}.
In my world the sets {1,2} and {2,1} are the same but the lists (1,2) and (2,1) are different. --
