Q: If Zombies Ain’t So Bad is in play, can everyone still lose because of a Zombie Victory?

A: Yes. The zombies can win, even if they Ain’t So Bad. Specifically, the Zombies Ain’t So Bad Rule says that you can still win even if a Goal says zombies would prevent your win, but the Ungoal says nothing about zombies preventing your win. It just talks about the presence of enough zombies at all making everyone lose. Just because you can win with a certain Goal even if you have zombies, doesn’t mean they can’t win with the Ungoal.

Thematically, imagine a world where zombies pose no physical threat to humans… but they have taken complete control of power. The president is a zombie, congress is all zombies, the supreme court is all zombies. Humans are not allowed to hold any positions of power, and are an oppressed minority. But hey! They’re not eating your brains!

Turns out “not so bad” isn’t necessarily the same as “good.”
