That strikes me as a bit of a leap.
The CEO of Zoom explictily stated that he felt in zoom meetings people were being too "friendly" and not willing to have "debate".
Why would it be bad for employees to be friendly? What employees want to have unfriendly debates in meetings? I think it's just managers that want that. What kind of "debate" do managers want? Why do they not want meetings to be "friendly"? Methinks they just want to yell at employees and don't feel comfortable doing it in zoom meetings for some reason...
But the leap you’re making is between a single statement from one CEO and the nebulous “they”.
I’ve been pretty close to billionaire CEOs in my career and certainly the ones I’ve come across have been well equipped to handle the job, well adjusted and well meaning.
