Reason #368 why I cover all cameras and disable mics by default, and only uncover/enable when in use.

You cover your phone camera? This only works on mobile and pops up the native Android/iOS camera which requires you to actually take the picture (and at least on iOS, asks you to confirm you would like to use the photo before going back to the website)

I habitually cover the camera on my phone when I'm not using it. It's just common sense for any connected device running complicated software without hardware switches to turn the sensors off reliably. The latter would be better of course but there wasn't a practical option for it last time I was looking for a new phone.
