Don't you find a reversing camera useful? You can see much more than with your rear view mirror.
...but then most modern cars seem to have abysmal visibility through the back windows anyway. The rear view from a 20 year old Micra I often drive is excellent, much better than any of the more modern cars I have hired.
I'm not really opposed to reversing cameras by themselves, but a) it takes up dashboard real estate for a feature I don't really use, and b) as soon as you put a screen on the dashboard, the company is going to want to put all sorts of annoying "features" into it.
The company puts those features in there because the market is telling them to. Bad UX is orthogonal to that fact.
Mirror: Glas and attachment to car.
Rear View Camera: display, camera, any of the wiring in between, a few fuses.
