2. It is possible, and you better believe it. They haven’t updated it, because there is no need for it.
Signal is simply not interested in your messages. It’s also not interested in your metadata, because it’s not an ad platform or a SIGINT front masquerading as a free messaging service.
If all this sounds hard to believe, you should donate.

The only way I see anything like that incorporated is a folding@home kind of thing that could help humanity as a whole.
Of course, if someone makes it work like you suggested, and it catches on, I will personally haunt your dreams forever. Don't give them any ideas.
This has always struck me as odd, because it means the app would have started both the camera and microphone if it had permissions, without me clicking the right buttons to get to it.
I'm too lazy right now to see if I can trigger the screen, and whether iOS would show the microphone/camera activity icons, but maybe there's a bug that's actively being exploited by Meta. I don't know how active the microphone stays if it has permissions, but I wouldn't put it past them to send all the data captured by the sensors even if I'm not posting a story. They did it with "status updates" on Facebook back then, when they gathered the data even if I deleted whatever I wrote without posting.

They have a different definition of gaming than we do. The games they're interested in are the ones with in-app purchases.
Except the design department, "good enough" is their motto for everything. "iPhone is the most popular gaming device" and "iPhone is the most popular camera" are two technically correct statements that don't sit right with me, but that's just me.
