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?

Assuming Hanlon's razor it's a Chesterton's fence situation you just see a LED that indicates the camera is on. Assuming they ask the question at all they think it's just to remind you your still streaming/in a meeting. Then someone asks any of the following questions:

Can we use it to indicate additional information?

Can we make it standard with the other LEDs?

Can we dim it so it's more pleasant to use at night or make it a customisable colour?

I'm sure plenty of other questions take you down the same path and you've just destroyed one of the LEDs most useful functions.

What do you mean by Hanlon's razor and Chesterton's fence?
