Imagine being so short sighted as to lambast the main selling point of your own product to the world.

If even Zoom won't use their own product, how are they supposed to persuade other people to?

They don’t have to persuade anyone anymore. There’s too much inertia built up behind them.

Much more concerning is his whining that people are “too nice.”

I don't think Zoom really has much of a moat surrounding it. Slack, Google, Microsoft, and others offer alternatives that are about as good or better (often for free if you use their chat offering). They sprang into popularity from nothing around 2018 due to being just a little more stable and reliable than the competition, and someone could take their place just as easily.

Agreed on all points. They just happened to be the new shiny when the shit hit the fan, and they got lucky. There are plenty of good alternatives.

I'd tell you not to kink shame the guy, but sounds like he's got a shame kink anyways, so keep at it
