Webcams are mostly used for video conferencing, where streams are (and should be) downsampled to something like 240p to avoid saturating the entire internet with crap. Anyone doing serious video uses an external camera, so what's the point of increasing the pixel count of a webcam?

A good 1080p stream is barely 500kb/s. You can always down sample your camera if you feel guilty.
