Opening a phone and removing front and rear cameras is easy. I did it when I replaced my broken ones. Plenty of videos on YouTube for any model. Removing the mic means listen-only phone calls, which arguably could be a feature in some businesses. Both are not for the general population. Maybe they'll sell some extra camera covers.

You could still use an external mic when you need it.

I guess one answer could be to add a physical switch to disconnect microphone, or use a removable microphone.
