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.
