Pillow blocks to hold linear bearings do have a couple advantages over zip ties. They allow some adjustability of the position/alignment of the bearing, and with some bearings, allow adjustment of preload. Over time, nylon zip ties absorb moisture from the air, are affected by heat and exposure to UV light, and become brittle and eventually break. Sure, they're cheap and easy to replace, but if it happens in the middle of a 20 hour print, it isn't cheap at all.
