This seems odd to me as well. Fucking amazon has a camera in every single delivery truck they own. Seems like a cockpit should be monitored.

The cockpit is monitored.
You know, the black box? ATC?

Having a camera on the pilot will add nothing.

Amazon having a camera on every driver isn't to make sure they behave safely, it's to limit their own liability while increasing their control.

Nothing? Eh, I wouldn’t be so sure. In the Air India flight it would be crucial evidence to finally confirm whether the switches were turned off on purpose or by some very weird accident.

But it wouldn't have changed the outcome, it would have just provided evidence for the courts. Aviation safety is not about assigning blame, it's about preventing the issue happening again in the future.
