"Camera access" - let's discuss this in more detail. So I am not convinced that I need to put that ugly piece of sticker onto my laptop camera. Is this really a big problem on Mac or no. Is there another alternative than putting some ugly sticker on a beautiful laptop?

I printed a blank strip of "White on Black" label tape and stuck it over on my MBP. I only see it when I'm in a super bright environment, such as in sunlight. Otherwise I forget its there.
If you don't want an "ugly sticker" on your laptop, you can get some nice laptop camera stickers [0] from the EFF. I have them on all of my laptops.

If you don't use it you can disconnect it from the motherboard. ifixit.com can help you find the connector.
