I can see why some people might be concerned about the camera, but I'm far more concerned by the microphone. There's far more sensitive and actionable information that can be gathered from me that way! I'm glad that macOS started putting a light in the menubar when the microphone is in use, but I'd prefer to have unhackable hardware for that instead.

Hardware switch in line with the microphone. Can’t be turned on behind my back.

Wireless noise-cancelling headphones. Oh no, the microphone is back through bluetooth.

If you're half-serious about this sort of opsec, you already have bluetooth disabled. Ideally your hardware wouldn't have support for it at all. Same for wifi.
