Engineering is compromises. I'm sure if you write software you have made hundreds if not thousands of them that have a direct impact on customers. If the webcam experience is the most important to you, then maybe you will look elsewhere.

I personally have never used a webcam in my 20 years of professional work. That doesn't mean a web cam is not important, just that there are a variety of needs and use cases that have to be balanced.
