Hi, I get the feeling! We made the decision based on a couple of reasons though:

1. we get a ton of LLM-written applications, this enables us to at least get a feel of the person

2. we are a video creation product, this is an opportunity for the Product Owner to actually touch the product and decide if they want to work on it

3. we are live on Zoom with customers twice a month to launch new features, talk through the roadmap, take feature requests, etc. If the Product Owner (who is expected to take on this role over time) is against the idea of being visible on video themselves, they might just not be a match for this product and company.
