If there is a conductance quantum, why is the resistivity in a superconductor exactly zero?

From what I have read, this is the maximum conductance a perfect wire can have. Therefore, the inverse of this number should be the minimum resistance a perfect wire could have. So, why is then said that in the superconductor state of a material the resistivity is exactly zero?

Shouldn’t it be, at least, the inverse of this conductance quantum?

Thanks a lot in advance.
