This is terrible for privacy, but not surprising at all. For enterprise, the target market for Zoom, I imagine this doesn’t matter much.
I don’t know anyone that uses Zoom for personal use. And if you do, why?
I used zoom for some hobby online meetups. The majority used zoom. I'm assuming that it's organizer's choice, which they're familiar at work. I'd love to spread a word for FOSS alternatives, but sadly I'm not the person organizes events.
The thing is for most people zoom is equivalent of video conference. Zoom has soared its publicity in WFH era, and Zoom decides to (like every corporation does) utilize it, milking every possible profit from it.
