Adding a third party dependency for code-sharing seems like a non-starter for large enterprise companies which already have a hard enough time with the first party offering.

The browser version of live code did work, but no. I'm not doing that.
I used to use zoom for pair programming. It got banned because, as you said, Large Enterprise Company. Microsoft lobbied them with "trust us: the company behind skype knows how to write secure software. force uninstall zoom on all your employee computers if you know what's good for you". Microsoft corporate sales are wizards.
Since zoom bombing was a thing and we couldn't be trusted to set our own passwords, I also tried using Microsoft Teams to pair program. It was absolutely unusable (e.g. if you type the keyyyyyyyssssss willlll stickkkkk).
GitDuck is probably lovely. It's a shame neither of us can use it.
For VS Code Live Share I kept finding myself opening up Zoom and then in parallel trying to get Live Share running, which also feels somewhat finicky at times. The GitDuck experience felt a lot more complete by integrating at a different level. It also felt like it could eventually be a more suitable experience for things we often do in interviews like try to do coding interviews by combining tools like CoderPad & Zoom - though CoderPad has the nice side effect of preservice links to the interviews themselves.
I don't believe they have IDE integration, but like others have said, Tuple + Live Share would be a competitor to GitDuck. Glad to see more attempts at the space though!
Fortunately the Screenhero founder has been freed from Slack, and has rebuilt it! (with promises that it will not suffer the same fate)
Are there enterprises where they use Mac as default over Windows / Linux?
