> running an always-active webserver

It's one thing to run a webserver while your software is running.

It's quite another to leave it installed and running even after the user has uninstalled your application.

And to actively evade the user's attempts to remove the webserver component. Until this update, if you removed ZoomOpener from your Login Items and via `rm -rf ~/.zoomus`, it would miraculously reappear every time you participated in another Zoom meeting. (To stop this, you had to touch .zoomus as a file or otherwise make it harder to recreate as a directory. But if they had chosen to, Zoom could have coded around these countermeasures thus leading to an arms race, at least for a while.)




Or be like me and kill all zoom processes after you leave because you are afraid someone may be watching your next wank session
