Please note in the case of this request, I am not asking you to do anything. I gave my +1 to auto-connect camera.
My larger point is that there have been improvements to snapd and snaps themselves have better mechanisms to detect if an interface is connected, and can do whatever they want with that information and there will be times when it might be appropriate for a snap to do this instead of auto-connect. As mentioned in Inkscape autoconnect cups-control - #39 by pedronis, a next step would be for snapd to provide APIs for the application to request a connection prompt instead of having to prompt and instruct itself, and the snapd team have acknowledged this is desirable.
