I felt like this was already discussed elsewhere in the comments, so I didn't revisit it, but now I will point out a few things. Backup cameras were far less necessary because the introduction of these cameras enabled the drastic reduction in rear visibility that now necessitates the cameras. Blindside warning pales in comparison to well-integrated convex mirrors on both sides. The 2012-2014 Ford Focus executed this concept superbly, but I don't know of any other vehicles that have it. As a grumbling aside, backup cameras are really about the safety of those outside the car, and I deduce from the popularity of SUVs and trucks that such a consideration carries almost no weight when buying a car.
