You could say that about most ToS bits. A lot of them are hard to prove. This at least provides a potential legal remedy in the event that a) they are lying and b) we are able to determine that.
It's better than nothing (assuming you're still using Zoom).
At a certain point, you need some basic level trust do business with anybody. Regardless of what the ToS say, the company could do anything with the data. Even supposed E2E encryption has often been found to be either not really be encrypted, or unintentionally vulnerable.
Our whole system is based on assuming a degree of trust, based on both social norms and reputation of prior interaction, with a confidence of remedy in the case of a failure. If we really had to have much stronger confidence up-front in commercial interactions there would be a lot more friction and overhead in every transaction. Dealing with the occasional fraud seems like a better tradeoff.
