I think you just described UDP. Yet Zoom uses UDP. And as you say, if something goes wrong, it’s the ISP’s fault, and it’s the end of the freakin’ world.

Acceptable losses. For you, if anything doesn't work somebody will know immediately, and it will be the most important thing they do, and they'll lose millions of dollars if you don't fix it right now.

So somehow they're able to extract whatever sensitive information they want, from basically whoever they want, over this super convoluted tunneling setup, running through who knows how many NATs and probably shoddy WIFI. But if I try to do 2 layers of NAT, or godforbid, there's some MTU mismatch, or the customer walks into the room over from the router, half the internet won't load. Maybe the IETF needs to see how these guys make it work. They must have some secret sauce.
