The Zoom war-dialing is possible, in part, to a limited number space for the meeting ids. This is a design flaw that they should have fixed long ago.

And, although the pick-your-own-name method opens the door for problems, I think Jitsi deserves some credit for suggesting "Correct Horse Battery Staple"-style names as suggested defaults.
