Zoom got a huge boost of non-commercial use. Everything from book clubs to AA meetings started Zoom sessions during COVID. These are very localized sort of meetups without too much out-of-area participation. Once restrictions on in-person meet ups were eased or obviated Zoom wasn't really offering anything special so usage dropped off.
Google Meet and Microsoft Teams also beefed up their offerings. My current gig is an Office 365 shop (or whatever the brand is) so it's all Microsoft cloud stuff. Meetings including broadcast type things like all-hands are all done via Teams which integrates directly into Outlook and ActiveDirectory. I know Google has equivalent integration with their offerings.
So Zoom in my experience doesn't quite offer anything all that unique to a lot of COVID era adopters. It completely makes sense their usage would drop back to their pre-COVID numbers. Remote work isn't dependent on Zoom nor does it offer the same integration as other platforms.
