Why ?
Most people use their laptop webcams for Skype with friends or Zoom/Teams with colleagues. The camera is merely a means to display your face to others and I doubt anyone else (especially on work sessions) gives a shit about what your image looks like.
Do people really need to stare at your wrinkles, nose-hair and unshaven face in 8k ? Most people also use their webcam in godawful lighting conditions, so it matters even less.
Added to which, in relation to the MacBook Pros, the clue is in the name "Pro". People will be buying it as a work machine. Who cares about the webcam (or indeed, if you look at certain other web-forums where people are complaining about the lack of Space Gray 16-inch ...who cares about the colour !).
