Arguably a much, much bigger problem are the (many) microphones of modern devices.

These usually get neither an LED nor a switch, and unlike cameras can't easily be covered, nor pointed away from potentially sensitive topics/subjects.

No amount of microphones will ever be a bigger problem than a single compromising photo or video.

I can’t think of much if anything which would be a compromising photo or video from my laptop, but conversations certainly are.
