I'm mixed on this because while I 100% agree with you, I also don't really think that it will take off beyond a few novelty places where the Hotel + rooms are specifically designed to accommodate an entertaining stream. Think specific amenities meant to encourage silliness, items in the room for entertainment value that a regular hotel wouldn't use, product placement, and so on.
The number of non-tech people who still bother with a strip of tape over their laptop's webcam is encouraging enough for me to believe that likely a hotel experience like this really will never grow beyond a curiosity for a select group of people who wouldn't mind such an experience, and I think that our paranoia over physical privacy likely will keep this pretty constrained.

This is one example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Ringley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Ringley was another one. Someone has to either express/define or demonstrate what's extreme for the rest to have an opinion on what's ok. It will be an issue if this idea becomes a norm. But it's normal that it's an extreme novelty.
