From the Hacker News thread
I'm sure there are other reasons, but three understandable reasons I've seen: 1) The lack of e2e encryption despite trying to market themselves as having secure video chat. 2) news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22749805 (comment in this thread - they literally phish you) 3) twitter.com/c1truz_/status/124473767293… abusing the traditional installation process on OSX EDIT: OK (2) may be a real system prompt - twitter.com/DigitalResist0r/status/1245…...? I didn't see anyone else in the twitter thread claim that it was using a real system dialog, so I'd still say it was poor practice of them to have such a shady looking system dialog.
