Disclaimer: Have worked with many smart folks who now work at Zoom.

I agree that Zoom has had numerous security and privacy failings. I think it is important to color the characterization of their security teams with a timeline however.

Looking at that gist - the majority of the content predates the conclusion of the "90 day security plan" [1]. The team, and product no doubt, has changed immensely in the past year. That doesn't wallpaper over the history here, but there is completely different security leadership (e.g the current CISO didn't start until late June 2020 [2]) and staffing in place at this point that means your statements on their team likely aren't reflective of Zoom today.
