Zoom has a lot of brand recognition that gives them momentum.
The BBC for instance regularly talks about Zoom for video conferencing. They rarely, if ever, discuss the privacy implications of Zoom or that alternatives are available* in articles not directly about Zoom's privacy failings.
* mentioning "other <commercial thing> are available" has become a widely known running joke for the BBC as their charter says they shouldn't favour one firm over another.
For instance, in East Enders when in the pub always ask for "vodka", "gin and tonic" or "larger" but never a brand name.
They seem to have dropped that in the case of Zoom.
