I assumed that most if not all of these webcam LEDs are wired in series with the power to the camera itself. Which then makes it impossible to disable them. Who designs this LED to be software addressable?

The very first home made monitoring camera I made with a Raspberry Pi 1 and the camera module you could disable the LED in the config.

So it seems to be an old pattern. Definitely would make the most sense to focus on privacy and make the LED hard wired but here we are.
