Because Zoom is the buyer and they have the power. Sellers can make whatever promises they like (see: Whatsapp, Instagram) and it is reasonable to assume the buyer will have their way in the end.
Zoom will certainly use Keybase to improve their security overall. However, the rather obvious lack of commitment to existing users means there likely won't be any longterm.
My prediction: Zoom integrates well with keybase, there's a blog post that keybase is shutting down external services in a few months, the keybase founders leave and 1-2 years later, we hear of a new company they've founded.
