Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion!
I thought that we already had a GitLab issue to add microphone and 
camera to a future feature of the Persistent Storage, but I couldn't 
find it.
So I expended the scope of #7246:
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/7246
I don't think that we should disable these by default, but we could make 
these opt-out through the Persistent Storage.
They also seem to fit well together.
