It wasn’t a mistake it was a strategic cost benefit analysis. Many people myself included don’t even use the webcam at all and would rather keep it blocked with a sticker most of the time. If most people statistically don’t use webcam on their MacBook why would it make sense to increase the price to have it? The few times I opened FaceTime app on the MacBook 2020 it looked fine to me anyways. I certainly wouldn’t like paying say an extra $100 for a better webcam I don’t even use.
