Why? I think 720p is the maximum need for a front facing camera on any device. What would you want a 4K front facing camera for? Most video-conferencing wont even allow more than 480p to preserve bandwidth.

Because the less pixelated it looks the more natural a conversation flows? Are you asking why is it important to have a good camera for online video conferencing? Look at all the guides that teach people how to use DSLRs as their webcams.

  >Because the less pixelated it looks the more natural a conversation flows? That's not a problem, since Zoom and co don't stream in higher resolutions anyway, and even 720p will be highly compressed

    Did you know there are applications other than Zoom and Co out there?

      Did you know that it doesn't matter, since Zoom and Co is what most use?

  If you are a professional video maker, you'll anyway have something better than the internal mic and camera. Not just for quality but also for position and practicality of moving it. We are talking here about the average person's use-case

    Sure and the average person can benefit from a higher resolution camera.

  Plenty of very good DSLRs come at 1080p, exactly like this webcam. And they take better photos and videos than many sensors out there stuffed with unnecessary pixels. Using resolution as a shorthand for actual image quality doesn't reflect the reality of how cameras work, never mind that full HD already pushes the limits of most people's streaming capabilities (both video encoding and bandwidth).
