What's the use of taking a picture if the user isn't actively using the computer?
You get to see whatever the user _is_ doing at the time. You seriously don't see the use of that, especially for nefarious ends?
Also, the user will almost certainly return to the computer at some point, and the attacker can probably wait till then.
The point, from an attacker's point of view, is not to get a picture of the user. The point is to get information, including pictures, that can then be sold to the highest bidder. A photo of the user doing all sorts of non-computer-related things is worth way more to a potential blackmailer, say, than a photo of the user's face.
