Revoking the key and making its restoration conditional on issuing a security patch would be a way to make sure an update does happen. I'm not a fan Apple's approach to software signing, but this is a good opportunity to showcase some of the benefits that their system does legitimately have.

Right now, Zoom is gambling that they don't need to care about security from a business point of view. Apple can change the situation so they do.
