I think "breaking the correct behavior" might be a bit of misleading term -- it's obvious that in some contexts we would want to be warned about the context switch and in others we'd be annoyed by it. I could totally understand why Zoom would, for frequent users, want the users not to get an annoying dialogue. On the other hand, if I'm a rare user or don't know a program is installed on my system, the context switch dialogue would be super useful alerting me that something is happening.
So I think you could argue Apple might want to let you override that, I don't know what the language is and whether there's a "click here to skip this next time" box on the dialogue. It's possible they got the annoyance versus security tradeoff wrong.
But imho they didn't break the correct behavior any more than Microsoft "broke the correct behavior" of privilege escalation by adding a dialogue box with UAC in Windows 7 .
