"Should have an LED that goes on when it is active,"

There often is, but it's controlled by software.

I put some blame on users. They buy and use a device that has a camera and microphone and leave them on when not in use. They can't even be bothered to close the laptop. The same people are the ones putting internet connected listening devices in all parts of their home to be even lazier.
