If anything it bugs me to see that the requirements are so low:

> 720p

Ok not too bad

> more than 15fps

I thought this was 2022, anything less than 24 is basically garbage and it’s pointless to even have 720p at that frame rate.

I haven't looked in a minute but 0.3MP (640x480) cameras were quite common just a few years ago on budget laptops. Often webcams can achieve higher FPS at lower resolutions, so specifying 720p @ 15FPS prevents them from shipping a 720p sensor that does say 15FPS but only at 320x240.
