You seem to be in the minority there, maybe an external clip-on webcam is a better solution? I doubt a back-facing webcam would be used very much because most people use laptops like a take-home work station, and they use phones to show things to people (I’m sure there’s a good reason you’re not doing that, it’s just what most people do)
What would be the benefit in a camera facing away from the user?
It would be unused in 99% of use cases and the other 1% a external camera is more functional.
Tablets (including iPads) have rear-facing cameras.
Tablets don’t have keyboards permanently on. This makes it easier to pick up and take pictures with a back camera.
Because tablets are not normal PCs, but rather big smartphones, which are expected to have cameras.
YOU’RE NOT A NORMAL PC!
walking around with the laptop showing people stuff, would be EXTREMELY useful to me

There are some laptops where the screen flips over, I have one of those laptops. I have to say I only use that feature like once every 3months or so.
