I suppose, but how many people are truly taping their phone’s cameras?

I'm speaking more to how the tech may be applied to other devices in the future, like to PC monitors or TVs

But how’s it different? It’s already built in.

Many tvs already have this tech. I don’t see it as much of an issue with monitors (many have a physical cover for this very reason). The real reason for ‘hiding’ the camera isn’t to make it easier to spy on us (they can do that already, if that was the goal), it’s instead to give the screen full coverage, without any dynamic islands or cutouts, etc.

I get your point, but we’re already past the privacy possibility, now it’s a matter of aesthetics.
