At least shaming the manufacturers into considering security is a good thing if it makes them avoid being shamed in the future by caring about security. But I doubt most people who bought and use these devices will care as long as they still work.

Agreed. This is a good business decision to issue a recall. It probably won't cost too much since very few people will actually return it.

I can imagine having a vulnerable webcam is a huge privacy risk too.
