For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!
To the people who insist on me adding a sticky note to my webcam, I can only say
Anyone with root (or equivalent) access to your pc could easily undo that though.

It’s not the biggest, but it still is a concern, and is exceedingly easily mitigated.
For the non-devs out there, he means unplugging it
