WhatsApp isn't a conference tool.
You can't have more than a handful of people on a call.
And it's with people in your contacts on your mobile phone.
I presume the same with telegram.
Skype for business has been deprecated by Microsoft in favour of teams. I use it daily and it's just not that great. It requires a Microsoft subscription.
Google hangouts meet only just became available for everyone to use. Before it required a Google business subscription. It makes my CPU usage max out and cooks my laptop.
Zoom works well with 10s of people in a call, it's easy to use.
Breakout rooms is a useful feature.
With COVID so many people are using it not because of a marketing campaign but because it's easy to use.
I think it's like asking "why is a an iPhone better than a Blackberry? They both make calls and send email."
But I think Zoom has built their product to not be "enterprise" which in my opinion is a good thing. As that usually means you need to accept jank.
Of course there are security issues with the software as well.
