For the moment: "However, this requirement will become mandatory starting with the 1st of January, 2023, a fact which will most likely force many of the manufacturers to also include a webcam in devices like laptops or tablets."

Anyway, I don't know of any laptop without a webcam, although often it's quite awful.

That's the cause of this requirement. MS is tired of marketing departments checking off boxes on their spec sheet by picking the cheapest part from the discount bin.
