The real, real reason you can't buy good webcams is because the market isn't a meritocracy. Make the best webcam in existence and there just isn't a robust, or honest, review community to let it shine.
Instead there are a billion "here's a list of things that we can get affiliate dollars for from Amazon, and we'll pretend we reviewed them" listings.
This problem has hit a lot of markets. Without a financial support for capable, credible, honest reviewers, the backbone of an industry falls apart. It becomes all about gimmicks.
So if you want a webcam the real options now are an SLR (many of them support that use) or even a video camera. In those markets there remains an extreme qualitative review system, so that new Nikon, Canon or Sony SLR or video camera had to shine.
