BlueJeans also runs a webserver when installed on macOS

And this is why the web browser vendors need to simply disallow this behavior. Websites seem to think they seem to engage in awful behavior to compete with each other. If the browsers just block it outright, then everyone will be on a level playing field.

Thats kinda what happened here, Apple made the user confirm that they were going to take an action on an app on their computer and Zoom built functionality in on the app to bypass it.

No, you’re misunderstanding me. Websites should not be able to talk to localhost over HTTP. Browser vendors should eliminate the back channel.
