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.

My Librem 14 has a microphon+camera kill switch.

Also, on Qubes OS, everything runs in VMs and you choose explicitly which one has the access to microphone and camera (non by default). Admin VM has no network.
