Agreed; perfect is the enemy of good. A workable solution for all
sides seems to be better than a perfect solution [for one group]. One
that, realistically speaking, puts so much burden on another group
that said solution may end up being generally ignored.
With your video hat on: How do you propose to do room shots? Who will
contact all the speakers and people asking questions who forgot their
lanyard before uploading video?
Some numbers on how many people checked the "no photo" option vs how
many did not might help here, but I suspect that the common case is
"photo" and that's what we should design for: the common case.

PS: This stance could be applied to all sorts of other preferences as
well. Should we default to fruitarian food? Personally, I would
_really_ like a totally non-smoking venue, including outdoors. Yes,
this is reductio ad absurdum on purpose to illustrate my point.
