This is just the TikTok clipboard problem all over again. Reasonable developers who've dealt with initializing APIs that are complex or not their initial forte will make decisions like "initialize the camera on app open if we need it and then pull data from it later." It's pretty trivial to make that mistake. I wouldn't even be surprised if this is part of Instagram having a goal to make opening camera capture really fast. They've done very similar things intentionally before.
