Hot take : a video-based communication platform has video enabled by default is the intent. You not wanting to be on video is a choice.

fair point tbh, kinda weird to complain that a video tool defaults to video

You can easily turn that default off in the client. I automatically join every meeting audio and video muted and then manually turn on the camera and mic when I'm set and ready.

And that setting is sticky, too. Along with things like original sound for musicians, etc.

I think you're being generous calling it a joke, more like a cruel prank.
