Snaps are a lot lot better in this regard especially in the perspective of connections.

You can define connections to home, camera, network etc...

I have not seen the same in flatpak.

Sure flatpak have a static permission system too, even it is not recommended and xdg portals are the way of integrating with a host.

I don't get why a big company like Zoom, with presumably lots of users who are on Linux, only gives us a .rpm/.deb instead of a Snap/Flatpak. Seems like doing the minimum.

Snaps is a sure-fire way to only get used on Ubuntu. So that would be worse than distributing .rpm/.deb.

It's possible to distribute more than one format.........
