The same way a startup chooses any hosting platform. They pick who their VCs tell them to pick because it's all a slush fund. Zoom's losses are another business owned by the same VC's gain.

The last time I checked, Zoom was a publicly traded company. Of course, this doesn't invalidate your second point due to the existence of large institutional public investors.
