How the Zoom macOS installer does its job without you clicking ‘install’

I really wish they'd make the client available in the Mac App Store. Not only is the installation experience better than this, things also stay nicely up-to-date. If your company runs an MDM for your Macs, it's easy to deploy apps en-mass to everyone.

It's times like this when I realize how much I prefer the Mac App Store over everything else.

Zoom should definitely offer a Mac App Store version. Even if they just take their iPad app and Catalyst it, I'd probably use it.

But then they'd need to opt-in to sandboxing and other "onerous" requirements and couldn't pull shady things like this.

Nailed it.
