They aren’t wrong. Camera systems do have a lot of issues. Calling someone stupid for pointing that out is absurd.
Cameras can mess up when they’re dirty, when it’s raining, when it’s dark, when there’s glare.
Image processing and recognition is also a hell of a lot slower and more computationally expensive than numbers from a LIDAR system.

They aren’t stupid, I’m saying they should try out a product that uses the tech before passing judgement on the efficacy of it.

Everybody is aware it’s not going to be flawless out of the gate, or perhaps ever. That’s not the point.
They’re saying using cameras and only cameras is a bad idea and makes “Autopilot” inherently subpar in situations where cameras don’t work so well.

Sure, but having actually driven one instead of commenting on the internet, the issues that have come up with AP/FSD have seem to be more data related (speed limits causing slowdowns).
When there are vision issues the car complains and it’s up to you as the driver to take control. I don’t care how many sensors are on/not on the car, if it tells you it can’t handle the situation safely, that’s now on you as the driver.

Never go full fanboy… try actually understanding what people are telling you, why fail safes are good idea, why redundancy systems are implemented, etc.
Your anecdotal experience of “I drive in fog and rain and its been good” means nothing…

Except for when it doesn’t and the car plows straight into the back of a lorry. Or runs over a teenager getting off a school bus. Etc.
