Can they? Bluetooth video isn't a thing (no really, it's not supported by the spec, I just looked). Whereas sending a boolean "my screen is blocked" is.

Edit: apparently it is a thing but not really, like very low bandwidth.

I can see video from my phone’s camera on my watch via Bluetooth.

Say someone compromised a clip and a nearby cell phone.

Can we be sure that the compromised clip isn't uploading images to the phone? Not the little video clips supported by the standard device, images created by additional software.

Of course this is pedantic, but is also a useful way of analyzing what internet of shit products might end up doing (that is, reasoning about the capabilities in addition to the advertised features).
