No it was not just that.
Zoom put a backdoor (like, a full web server) in their Mac version and didn't even remove it when outed until Apple pushed an update that killed it for them. Which was a big unprecedented step.
Mistakes happen. Total lack of action when it happens shows at the very least a total disinterest. They definitely did lack a focus on security and privacy at that time.
I agree Microsoft is pretty aggressive and teams is a pig of an app in my opinion (slow and bloated) but zoom really dug their own grave too IMO.
For what it's worth I find Jitsi delightful and super performant. I use teams a lot with work and Jitsi with our makerspace and it's just so much better at the video conferencing role.
