Why is a webcam more invasive and creepy than holding your entire body hostage at a testing location?

Only because you haven't taken the time to make sure your personal testing location is prelared for public viewing, since usually you don't have to worry about that.

It's a fair point. I don't actually have an issue with the webcam so much as the monitoring software they installed—it's a giant black box with admin permissions that I don't understand at all. (And, using a virtual machine was explicitly not allowed, for understandable reasons.)

I assume it hasn't left behind a giant security hole or explicit keylogger—and I did make a time machine backup before the test which I restored afterwards...

In the new world our test fees will include delivery of a test machine.
