This is only possible because of incredibly negligent notification text. "Remote control of your screen" being given to an application creates wildly different expectations than "remote control of your computer".
A better descriptor would be something like "Caller *name here* would like permission to remotely control your computer. They will be able to view your screen, access your files, and take actions as if they were you".
I swear, with the number of times Zoom has been responsible for security breaches thanks to their fragrantly negligent behavior, you'd think they'd put a little bit of thought into things they know are security threats (hence the warning at all.)
