Is it possible for a person to host a zoom meeting and they see bad connection from me?

I had a zoom meeting today for a test and the host told me that my connection was bad and then they shared their screen showing that my connectivity was low and they said my video was cutting off. From my end the connection was fine I can see her and hear her perfectly, I also had a zoom call with colleague to test my connection and he had no issues with me. How is this possible?  How can the host see my connection strength but I can't see their connection?

If the meeting host loses the connection due to power or internet service interruption, Zoom will assign a random participant as the host. To choose a co-host at the beginning of a meeting, click on a participant name and choose “Assign as co-host.” If the host gets bumped off, the co-host can keep the meeting open.

Seriously, it always disturbed me how they can see so much info about us... Like, really? Why do they need to see how strong my internet connection is? There are some instances where I would need to excuse myself because of low internet connection, but I wasn't excused because for them "It looks stable" tf?
