I disagree. Plenty of video chat software has comparable reliability and "just works"-ity.

Google Meet, Skype, Microsoft Teams, Discord...

Hell, Apple has had "just works" and "reliability" in their walled garden since FaceTime was introduced -- if you're willing to look only in their walled garden.

I haven't tried discord, but all of the other tools that you mention are materially worse than Zoom, in my experience.

Zoom is almost as good on a laptop as dedicated Cisco gear.

I have been video conferencing mostly for work for almost a decade, and Zoom is the best solution for that that I've encountered.

I recently changed roles, and the use of Zoom was a small reason to go with the company I did.
