This is a PR piece. People do hate zoom, this is zoom trying to rehabilitate their image through their security partner.
People hate zoom? Like "Teams is so much better" or "online meeting are bad"? For me it one of the more enjoyable online meeting options and it leaves Teams, Skype, webex and what have you, far behind.
See: Privacy concerns, lying about encryption, connections to china, bad security.
Zoom is entirely banned at the two companies that are my day job, and probably 90% of partners. If you do any work adjacent to anything that's ITAR controlled you should also not be surprised to see the same policy from partner companies.

Microsoft seems to be the one banging the "zoom is insecure" drum hardest and teams had, like, 4 zero days and paid < 30K for them IIRC.
Is it just me, or does $200k seem far too low for this? I understand that the reward was paid by the event, not Zoom... but it seems to me that Zoom should “pony up” some additional funds for this research.
You are always free to sell the hacks for their """actual""" market value on the black market. Of course you need to launder the money, you might get jailed, you might have to flee the country and so on but at least you get your fair rate.

That might be “people on HN hate zoom”.
Possibly "people on HN hate zoom, and then use it anyways because it's forced."
