Maybe the world"s remote workers should avoid Zoom since it isn't even good enough for Zoom to use.

I suspect that's actually part of the problem. Zoom is being ditched for teams left and right - so many enterprise companies already have Office on all their machines on the network. Why would they continue to pay for zoom (who I believe jacked up their prices to capitalize on the COVID influx) when teams is included in their software suite and serves the exact same function, with additional functionality? Not saying teams is as good/better/worse than zoom, but it serves the same purpose. There are also concerns over zooms security, which isn't helped by a huge inrease in cyber attacks just about everywhere - that's also very problematic for zoom since Teams already requires MFA through authenticator to help prevent the latter.

The Zoom peak declining combined with a competitor rapidly growing means they're losing money, and of course the only solution to that is to force employees back into the office. I mean what else could you possibly do? There's simply no other solution to this problem. They've tried nothing so far and it hasn't worked so, really theor hand has been forced.

Lol it's funny how you compare the safety of Teams vs Zoom when there is currently a targeted cyber attack of like 50 different US agencies using Teams as the vector.

A quick Google search will show that Zoom has a ton of encryption and spyware vulnerability concerns. I also did not say Teams was more secure, just that the already built in MFA that Microsoft is requiring helps combat that, and again....included.
