There are 576 votes for Zoom at the AUR,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoom and no trusted user is willing
to maintain it as an official community package for the Arch repos. So
lets take a look at the privacy via Apple's iStore,

We are talking about software a lot of people were forced to used (me
to), due to the COVID-19 pandemia. I needed to install it temporarily on
my iPad, but never tainted my Arch install with it.

It's hard to believe that an Arch user ever installs something via snap.
However, this is no native Linux software, it comes with a custom
license, is developed by Satan, see

IOW no software that should exist at all.
