Sure flatpak have a static permission system too, even it is not recommended and xdg portals are the way of integrating with a host.

I don't get why a big company like Zoom, with presumably lots of users who are on Linux, only gives us a .rpm/.deb instead of a Snap/Flatpak. Seems like doing the minimum.

Snaps is a sure-fire way to only get used on Ubuntu. So that would be worse than distributing .rpm/.deb.
