If I have NFC or Bluetooth disabled it is because I explicitly do not want software on my device to contact outside services.

Yes, but if you’re in a zoom/whatever conference room, with a zoom/whatever client running, it’s not unreasonable to think that you want to use the conference equipment. Couple with the various constraints on BT, etc this is a reasonable solution.

Where this reasonable solution is actually implemented securely is another question, and Zoom’s track record isn’t exactly fantastic.
