The simple fact is that Zoom's connectivity is vastly better on low-performing internet, which is critical for students.
Where Facetime and G Suite (Meet) simply freeze, drop connectivity for 30 seconds at a time, etc... Zoom just chugs along at an extremely low bitrate but where you can still make out the audio and speak and be heard.
Other solutions are awesome when you've got dedicated bandwidth in your office. Zoom is awesome when your local ISP sucks, or the rest of your family is busy using the internet too and there's nothing you can do about it.
