They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

The usual answer is "people are stupid", which can't be true - people spend lots of effort to be less stupid, and when interacting with those people in unusual and unexpected ways you might find out they are much smarter than they seem.

The correct answer is that people don't know what they can do with computers. So they accept any bullshit.

Stupid, no. Lazy, absolutely.
