The use case zoom is targeting is not encrypted private conversations that focuses on user privacy. It is conferencing -> generally public / group meetings. The permissions are VERY loose by default - anyone can join your personal meeting room if you don't put a password based on a simple set of digits after a URL. People can join with NO account, no login. My own experience trying to do a lot more lockdown - people don't like it, they WANT this free and open approach. If you want private conversations - lots of apps out there support that. But many apps targeting business have a corporate / compliance / discovery API option. For example, slack is very popular, and admins can get corporate export turned on or discovery API which allows exports of your PRIVATE direct messaging conversations by the company. So if you think zoom letting a user see their OWN messages is bad, slack (often a popular programmer system) let's admins get everything you ever typed. The one I hate the most are the SSL middleware boxes and decrypt everything.
