Train passengers who put their phone on the table by their seat will get the same problem eventually.
I'm actually thinking it's because these systems will be active whenever the device is powered. If they turned them off they'd get complaints from tik-tok kiddies that it took a second or too to fire up the camera . The battery would actually last a bit longer though. If this is the case just wait until someone getting rid of all their other bloatware does the update for them.
As someone who buys an android device and runs it until it dies I already have a selection and it's an ancient Samsung that goes on the bar mount on the odd occasion I want sat-nag. It wouldn't be my first choice of camera, but I'm usually carry five of those on other devices! I have enough computing power to get to mars at less cost than a months rental on some i-thing. The pictures, music and comms are just fine.
