People forget because you have to train yourself to remember, and outside of intelligence agency personnel, no one is doing that
I'm sorry, do you mean to say that only intelligence agency personnel are capable of remembering a simple habit such as sliding a camera cover? Not too long ago we were all using flip phones, many with extendable antennas, and no one was having trouble remembering to flip open their phone and extend the antenna before using it.
And as the sister comment said, no one suggested removing the LED indicator.
Your argument to not having a cover is that some people will occasionally forget to use it. That's preposterous, and I can't imagine applying that argument with a straight face to something like seatbelts or gun safety mechanisms.

An LED indicator does nothing to stop someone from snooping.
A camera cover does nothing to stop snooping, because it’s unlikely to be used. You have four calls a day, are you always going to remember to close that cover? People also have to train themselves to wear seatbelts, but it’s the law so it made that easier.
A LED indicator makes snooping obvious, exposing them immediately. Someone snooping your spy camera needs to record hours upon hours of recording to find anything they can use to blackmail you with.

You still haven't switched tactics despite me demonstrating how it's an invalid argument. Not only do you have zero data to support this conjecture, but he camera cover is not there for the people who don't use it. It's there for the people who do use it.
It was a long time before seatbelts were legally mandated. That didn't stop the safety-conscious folk from wanting and using them.
I have friends now who never wear their seatbelt. Two years ago my oldest friend whom I've known since I was five was killed in an accident because he forgot to wear his seatbelt. Is the answer to take seatbelts back out because some people won't use them? Of course not. The answer is more seatbelt awareness campaigns from auto manufacturers.
The LED indicator is a bit like police, who respond to burglaries after they've happened, while a camera cover is the deadbolt which prevents the crime in the first place. Do you leave your house unlocked at night, too?
You clearly are arguing for argument's sake, and have no interest in actually considering what I am saying, just repeating the same tired points over and over again. I'm done here.
