Or just don't leave it running all the time. Not sure why anyone would, it's not like it's hard to exit or start up. Personally I run mine using firejail instead of the browser as I didn't have much luck with the browser version when I first needed it (work) a few years back... though that is likely better by now.

Leaving it open means that when you click on a Zoom link, the app opens much quicker and you are already logged in. But yeah, not worth the privacy hit.
We use single sign on with Zoom so I never have to login and it takes <1sec to start on my laptop. But even contained using firejail I wouldn't want it running all the time.
Some companies use Zoom for chat and phone lines, in addition to meetings, so not a lot of choice in that situation
First I've heard of that but it makes sense.
