If I had to guess Zoom is probably using the accessibility API to implement their remote control feature. I don't know enough about the other apps to guess why they need it, but dropbox needing accessibility permissions does sound strange.

According to their website, Dropbox for Mac needs the accessibility permissions for:

"The Dropbox badge

"Seeing who’s viewed your files

"Better prioritization for file syncing"
