The command is do not COME NEAR TO ZINA (ADULTERY). Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'ala ) did not say do not do Zina:
وَلاَ تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَى ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَة ً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلاً
Wa Lā Taqrabū Az-Ziná ۖ 'Innahu Kāna Fāĥishatan Wa Sā'a Sabīlā
And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fāhishah [i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allāh forgives him). [Qur'ān 17:32]

And that is why the best way to prevent yourself from commiting adultery is to lower your gaze because what happens when you look? You start to think, then you start to wish, then the moment the heart wishes, Shaitān is going to try to get you to do stuff.
Remember the heart is the king of the body.. so by all of a sudden you're going to find yourself standing out there and the heart will command the mouth to smile (at the woman) and then what happens next (send) a message, then a phone call,... Shaitān is very patient in his strategy, he takes his time, step by step.
O' you who believe do not follow Shaitān ❌
No! Rather..
(Allah says): "O' you who believe do not follow the steps of Shaitān" ✔
Thus, avoiding coming near zina is more serious than do not commit zina.
