How can you trust a company with that type of culture? An accidental vulnerability is excusable. They intentionally wrote malware.

Why do you think that has anything to do with culture?
They made business decisions that seemed rational at the time, to grow fast at the expense of good security.
Now they're making business decisions that are rational for the current situation -- they've grown hugely, and now have been fixing their reputation for privacy and security.
Culture has nothing to do with it. It's pure business. I trust their profit motive far more than any "culture". And their profit motive now is: do everything to be a trustworthy product. And their actions over the past couple of months have been demonstrating that.
Do you think it's impossible for companies to change? Because a company makes mistakes, they can't ever be trusted again? That doesn't seem very realistic.

Your link is from 2019. GP is referring to how Zoom has (so far) moved on from those kinds of egregious behaviors, so now in June 2020 we're looking at just regular (non-malicious) code vulnerabilities.
