You’re muted – or are you? Videoconferencing apps may listen when mic is off

That was March 2020?

This is from July 2019: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2019/07/10/zoom

After they were called out, supposedly they fixed it, but that tweet you just linked looks like more of the same nonsense which goes right back to my original point: reputation matters. If the first could be taken as honestly naïve, the second proves it was not. Zoom doesn’t go on anything I own or control.

For me the problem was that they were called out about the backdoor they installed on Macs, and then totally refused to do anything about it, and it took Apple to actually incorporate a system update to remove Zoom's malware.

I understand 'mistakes' happen (though this was way too elaborate to be a mistake). But to just shrug it off and refuse to do anything when it's discovered is just total ignorance of security.

Yep. I don't trust them at all.
