Zuckerberg is an attractive enough target that someone would go to the trouble of trying to compromise his MBP's iSight firmware (and such compromises have been proven to be possible, and pretty easy in pre-T2 macs.)

The tape, however, is probably about really making completely sure he doesn't accidentally show video on a call or videoconference when he didn't mean to.

Video could easily reveal even his approximate location (via shadows and such), and that could potentially lead to deriving, say, that he's working on an acquisition or talks with another company, leading to stock manipulation/speculation and so on.
