Why are people still using these?

They are cheap and work decent most of the time. I have a few and don't have many complaints. But I also treat them as if they were publicly accessible. I hope someone got to watch my cats out in their catio and it made their day better.

Lol exactly. We don't have ours pointing at anything that matters. Both on the patio, one to watch the local cats and the other to see who is at the door.

I have one to watch my garage and one that points at my dog’s crate. The most action someone will see is my naked legs walking past the crate. Not really an issue to me either imo.

For something like that sure, but there are people who do have them in places that should be private.
