I think it's indicative that Zoom's genesis was from unhappy Cisco / WebEx engineers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Yuan#Career

"Upon arriving in the US, Yuan joined WebEx, a web conferencing startup, where he was one of the first 20 hires. The company was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2007, at which time he became vice president of engineering. In 2011, Yuan pitched a new smartphone-friendly video conferencing system to Cisco management. When the idea was rejected, Yuan left Cisco to establish his own company, Zoom Video Communications."

Agreed, Zoom does shitty things. But everything else is worse.
