I have only tried Skype and WebEx and Zoom seems easier to me. I haven’t tried the others.

Every single account you create somewhere is just another security breach waiting to happen. Most people re-use passwords among various sites, so all it takes is one site to get compromised and now that person's vulnerable. Not to mention, how many times have you forgotten that you used a particular website, go to create an account, only to find that you already have an account and have to go through the whole process of resetting a password? At least the C-Levels I work with find the whole process frustrating and infuriating.

In an ideal world, we all use password managers (and pray those don't get compromised) that create and remember unique passwords for each account. Trying to get C-Levels to do anything is an exercise in futility.
Thanks for helping me understand the reason behind Zoom's popularity. However, I do wonder how many people doesn't have an Apple, Google, or Microsoft accounts?
