Because people pay it

Is there really a demand for webcams nowadays (especially in the pro market and their expensive cameras), or is it Canon trying to mimick phone subscriptions? I'm asking this because I'm not a photographer, but the webcam fad seems to have died decades ago and I'm confused by this.
