Don't almost all cameras activate their "on" light when being used?

A lot of people ask why the light isn't automatically turned on when it's in use. I think the problem is it's easier to turn it on through software than hardware. Plus, if you can treat the webcam as just a microphone, then anytime a device accesses the microphone (games for example), the light would turn on. Not a problem, per se, but the light would be turning on and off a lot if you use a push to talk game. Something that might cause people to make it so they can just turn the light off. Of course, this is all just speculation.
