That’s a very black and white way to look at the world but you do you.

Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.
I don’t really have a good answer for you, but I mean you yourself used the word “resistant” to exploits, not impervious. Nothing is bulletproof, so if a user has any concern, rational or not, what’s the harm in covering it?
Maybe your question really doesn’t have to do with the webcam question, it’s more about the level of trust you should or should not have in your software. And that, to me, depends largely on the individual.
Also started seeing this today while browsing on my work computer, which I believe utilizes a VPN.
Just leave already then, it’s fine.
