Why doesn't apple secure their equipment? What about the millions of cameras in every store and building and ATM? Why are people worried about a few laptop cameras "spying" on them when they're spied upon as soon as they walk out of the house?

Cameras, cameras everywhere, and not a shred of privacy left.

Because the benefit of letting people do whatever they feel like on the display units in the store - while a good number of them are shopping for said equipment - is worth more than the cost of automatically wiping the machines each night.
