I added an aftermarket dash cam to my car, and realized that not only was it not standard on any car I’ve ever seen, it’s not even a dealer option on any car I’ve ever seen. Am I wrong about this?

I wonder also what other items might be in a similar category, having a practical use (at least in limited circumstances), but simply not available as original or an option from the dealer?
