Why is GCP disk type a resource?
Why disk type in gcp (google cloud platform) is a resource that can be accessed using project id and zone instead of just being a constant like standard persistent, ssd persistent and ssd local?

disk types are being handled as a resource, because the output of gcloud compute disk-types list is not what one would expect - but the available disk types per zone (which is a resource):

Google Compute Engine (GCP) offers several storage options:
- Zonal standard persistent disk and Zonal SSD persistent disk
- Regional persistent disk and regional SSD persistent disk
- Local SSD
- Cloud storage buckets
More information: Global, Regional and Zonal Resources
The zonal disk services (zonal PD and zonal SSD) provide a block storage option that is reliable within a single zone.
The regional disk services (regional PD and regional SSD) provide a block storage option that is replicated in two different zones, so it's resilient to zone failure.
The local option (local SSD) is a great option for fast, temporary block storage, and doesn't provide any replication.
The cloud storage buckets option uses Google's s3-like object storage service, GCS.
You can create disk resources that meet the capacity, performance, and reliability requirements of your application. Disk resources you create are associated with the zones or regions where they are created and are available to virtual machines created in the same project and locality.
