That works for a website, but doesn’t work for all outage types with a service like zoom. If the website/api is responding, but you can’t create new calls, for example, the outage wouldn’t be detected.

I think the problem might be less on the technical and more on the business-side of things.
Status pages that raise customers confidence in your service are good from a marketing perspective.
Automatically publishing uptime data without human review might be bad from a marketing perspective, if you don't trust the engineering department to actually deliver or if your service depends on too many external dependencies.
