Use the App Store and the preference setting to only allow App Store apps if you want that behavior.

Macs are general purpose computers and it would be absolutely inappropriate for Apple to try to prevent users from running software on them.

Look, all that makes sense if users are giving informed consent to have an app install a web server. Users should be able to run whatever they want, but they should also know what an app is installing.

At least the Bluejeans people have this page. The Zoom people did the same thing (possibly worse), but it was undocumented.
