A sustainable company isn't built on velocity, lack of conflict, and willful ignorance.
Decisions need to be made between strong opinions about the right path forward. There needs to be balance and respect between these aspects.
Reading the PR statement, I highly doubt the people who have those strong opinions about security are being given a fair voice. They are probably there, but they have zero power to change anything within their product.

I think literally every VC isn't built to be sustainable, they are designed to randomly jab the marketplace for a good investment bet. I wouldn't even expect them to listen to this kind of advice, it doesn't apply :)

The article indicates they have a "Security engineer" who was OOO when the author first contacted Zoom.
So yeah, sounds like one human, and it sounds like she/he probably doesn't have much say.
You seem to imply that they have an UX team but not a security team, so nobody convinced anybody else that this wasn't a good idea.
Without genuine security orientation, even if an expert realizes there is a security problem, who wants to be the boring paranoid pessimist who wastes time and attempts to ruin products, only to be staved off by the efforts of more productive employees that focus on adding value?
