The advantage of Zoom was that it just worked. No more spending the first 10 minutes of a call making sure everyone is online and can see/hear you. Or at least greatly improved.

Most of the issues people had was authorizing their webcam/microhpone on their browser, it was no different/better with Zoom than any other service.

And other services also had their own easy to install app (I think Jitsi only dropped the desktop app fairly recently).

I think the only thing really easier with Zoom was remembering the name. I think the brand constitutes 99% of its success.
