Better than risk of accidentally dropping out of meetings abruptly. I see many people still manage to do this and it takes a couple minutes to get them back on. There’s also the real fun one when the host ends meeting for all on accident. It’s same IRL when every says bye then awkwardly gathers belongings and leaves a conf room in silence

An alternative design, which I would generally consider superior, is to make it easy to undo leaving a meeting. (This wouldn’t work for the host under the current behaviour model, because the host leaving needs to either assign someone else to be host, or close the meeting for everyone. But you could do it this way for everyone else. Whether it would require waiting room approval again would be an interesting question, however. As usual, there are complexities to be considered.)
