A user configurable "hardware" privacy switch is a contradiction in itself. If it can be controlled by software it can't do what the marketing claims 🤦
Otherwise, Mediatek soc... likely riddled by binary blob drivers and bad mainline kernel support, but lets see.
I agree that the limitations should be stated more clearly, but even a software configurable switch is desirable. In some apps, the button to turn on the camera is a bit too easy to accidently press for my liking. If someone calls and I'm in my pj's I don't want to accidently enable video.
