99.999% will not take it apart and verify. They will just "nice, a physical switch". There is a lot of trust involved.
They don't neccessarily need to, you can pretty much always just look at reviews. Now you can make a point about trusting reviewers, but all that is still better than trusting the manufacturer or microsoft.
You're right though, there is trust involved, but only if you don't verify things yourself.
I have never seen a review opening a laptop to check if the hardware switch is really that. Please, link to a reviewsite that does that
Sure beats literally no protection which is what most laptops have. I have a switch and sometimes forget it's off and my webcam/mic definitely don't work, on any OS.
