So in this case 0=2 is a pretty accurate description.
That's what the spec says. A reader behaving otherwise is showing a bug, or an implementation mistake.

That may be what the spec says but I assert that on every e-reader I own or have owned, ( its a long list),
widows 0 ; orphans 0 ; renders differently to widows 2; orphans 2
The former renders all pages same length, the latter leads to some shortened pages ( giving the false impression that you are on the last page of a chapter, until you turn the page.
Tested with
SONY PRS650, T2, T3,;
Kobo: Aura HD, kobo arc tablet, Kobo app on Kindle tablet.
I don't recall for sure what happens with mobi / AZW conversions for Kindle - but I think Kindle apps & devices do not support any widows / orphans processing
