Unless everyone was blindfolded, how is a remote meeting with webcams any different?
Camera switched on shows basic respect to the others attending and at very least demonstrates some engagement in the meeting.

Regardless of my personal preference, though, I conform to whatever the expectation for a given meeting is.
If you’re invisible I think there’s a tendency to wonder where you are and what you’re doing.
Showing up literally in meetings I think makes people feel you’re there.
Camera off you may as well not be there.
