Meta has been existing for about 5 years now and I looked at the badges today and noticed that nobody has ever won Tenacious and Unsung hero.

Why has nobody won these badges on meta?

    That's because people on Meta are very generous with the votes. Either too many downvotes or too many upvotes! :) People asking questions here do upvote the answers they get. Hence, hardly 0-scored answered are accepted.

Because it is incredibly hard to post an answer on Meta that both gets accepted and also remains at a score of zero. In fact, out of the 98,000 answers, there are only 800 such qualifying answers.

    And even most of those answers have +1/-1 :)

There are 59k questions on meta.

Of those, only 813 are 0 score and accepted.

Nobody has unsung hero because just over 1% of accepted answers end up with zero score. By contrast, SO has 6.2 million questions with 713k having zero score accepted answers, for over 10% of the total.

None of the meta StackOverflow users achieved that goal. This is the only reason for not awarding those badges.

In meta, most of the accepted answers got upvotes.
