This is indeed the mean reason.
The request that riahc4 made has been done several times since /ping was added. (eg: to add a Plus! sign on top of the convo window if the user had Plus!, etc...) Patchou always replied with the explanation that it would be some kind of a breach of trust/privacy. And that's why he implemented it the way he did. If he wanted it he could've programmed it so it was invisible, but for above reasons he didn't, just like M_E said/suggested. 
OK if this was the reason then why does MSN have a icon that shows that the other person has a webcam or not? And of course the person can disable it and show that he doesnt want people to know he got a cam.
(sorry bout the bump havent been here in a while)
