It's possible that the server just forwards a selection of packets from each participant (hopefully dropping some from those who aren't speaking or moving) and the client stitches them into the view.

Sure, that would be the SFU doing it's job, but my point is that you aren't maintaining a connection per participant, but one connection with Zoom itself where you get all the video data. It's true that could be in the form of a single video stream of the entire gallery, or separate streams of only the participants visible to you.
