2) Seems like a waste of bandwidth, did you consider the use case that turning off the video stream might be done to try to reduce bandwidth usage either due to cost of bandwidth or bandwidth being limited enough to break other simultaneous needs? And since 3) while creepy, is at least done on the client so does not seem to require the stream to always be sent to the other clients.

They can "hack their client" to send it anyway which is why everyone has to "refuse" to receive it from a "muted" client, as well. It's a second line of defense. Never trust the client.
