I mean, so do all the major WebRTC video chat programs. Google Meet is absolutely painless, and I can use it in the browser instead of downloading Zoom's very sketchy application.
But Google made Hangouts/Meet G Suite only. My university is not using G Suite beyond student email (employees have outlook).
I only started using Zoom now and it solves a lot of my problems: virtual backgrounds while talking to students in my bedroom, recording my lectures, handling large live streams (50+ people), painless set up for non-tech-savvy users.
The only problem I had is that it would corrupt sound from my mic about every hour in a 4 hour stream.
They will be successful, but in part because other chose not to be.
