I installed the WebEx client for macOS today and it seemed similar, installing almost instantly without going through the normal EULA, volume selection, etc. flow.

It seems like they've stuck their installation flow into an Installer.app _plugin_ which is unusual. I haven't encountered that before, and I'm somewhat surprised the feature exists considering Apple waged war on loading code into first-party software. (The user is prompted before the plugin loads.)

Ughhh, this is probably where Zoom got the idea from.

Zoom was founded by Eric Yuan, a lead engineer from Cisco's WebEx business unit.
