Well, that's theft, which is entirely separate from intrusion.
Let's say you left your front door unlocked overnight, and a teenager opened it and screamed "LEROY JENKINS!" as loud as he could into your home, waking your whole family up, before closing the door and running away.
Would you really say that the teenager deserves to be charged with trespassing or B&E for this? Is jail really the answer to this transgression? If it happened every night, wouldn't you mostly be to blame for never locking your door, especially after experiencing first-hand what happens when you do not?
If Zoom is an analogy for your home, then imagine that your landlord refuses to put an actual lock on the door of your apartment, even after you tell him that people are opening it and screaming into your home.
With that said, most computer intrusions don't include theft or damages of any kind, so theft really isn't a great analogy. If someone does damage, they have done more than simply intrude.
And if you refuse to take steps to prevent these things from happening, the more it happens, the more it becomes your fault (of the fault of whoever is in charge).

What if in the middle of that B&E the homeowner shoots the harmless kid? This idea that petty crimes are tolerable so long as the perpetrator has a "good intentions" is pure irresponsible silliness.
