Cameras and microphones and write enable must have physical switches, not software ones. When will people learn?
Never.
Me, I unplug the camera and mike when not in use.
Your preferences are not everybody's. Personally, I'd be totally fine with a camera and microphone LED that is guaranteed to activate whenever there is power/signal flowing from either.

That's a bit hard to do on a laptop that has both built in.
The Framework laptops have two tiny switches near the camera that physically turn off the mic and camera, and it presumably wouldn't be difficult for other manufacturers to follow suit if enough people cared.
