I up-voted this because I agree that large institutions should have the resources to not use Zoom/Meetings/etc. and should use open standards instead. That said, I think it is fine for individuals to use one of the proprietary video platforms to talk with their parents, etc. I think organizations should be held to higher standards than individuals who are juggling getting work done, maintaining family and friends, etc. I dropped my paid membership to the FSF a few years ago because in my own lifestyle I rely on closed platforms like Apple Watch + AirPods, etc. to enhance my life. I release software under open source licenses (I favor dual LGPL and Apache 2 licensing) and the books I write, even though I charge for them, are released under a Creative Commons license so (with some restrictions) people can share them. Anyway, I find it a tricky balance between software and information freedom vs. friction free life.
