Are features like this available to other websites outside of Google? Say, could Zoom also add a feature like this?

A level playing field for competition? This is Google we're talking about.
If Zoom makes a chrome extension, then yes.
Will the Zoom extension also be installed by default?
Do you want every person in the world to run a line to your house, or do you want to have 1, and use that service to talk to them?

That is incorrect. Zoom would have to modify the browser source code to enable the API on their domain.
Beside the point, but I don't think Chrome extensions have access to those hardware details.
They do: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/p...
But yeah, having that build into your browser is a huge advantage over having to nag your users to install an extension or worse convincing the IT department that it's worth installing.
