Not too sure how you arrive at that conclusion. In fact Swiss Railways would tend to disagree, based on Sion being accessible by either the Zurich-Bern-Visp route, or the Zurich-Biel/Bienne-Lausanne route. Neither route mentions transiting through Geneva.
Yes, I know, but why would you bother with 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the train (and waiting in the cold when you change trains) when you can get to so many other places nearer Zuerich?
