This is obviously incorrect.

There is lots of software that can get access to your camera/microphone but not have access to anything else, like browser-based applications. And on Mac even locally installed applications are limited; getting access to user data directories requires a separate permission grant from webcam access.

You might also simply have nothing incriminating on your machine.
