Really? If you want to one-click-add a Zoom meeting to your Google calendar, Zoom requires read history to your full Google Calendar (including all history!) That seems incredibly intrusive.

How do corporations even allow access for this particular features?

Most people in companies are not IT people or IT security people. The ones raising concerns are often only heard, when it is too late. How often have I heard silly arguments against safer tech like: "The people are not IT people, they want something simple!"

This is possibly so Zoom can show other Zoom meetings you have been invited to. This is a useful feature as it means I can directly join a Zoom meeting without having to go through the Calendar.
