This seems another hamster wheel.
The idea is from accident investigators. To
them, a cockpit video could answer some questions, and that is useful (far more than what you suggest, Sir, in the case of an accident investigation).
As said by CJ Driver: Who is in the cockpit? Who sits where?
But also (with appropriate resolution & point of view): What were the instruments indicating (*)? Was this fault acknowledged, leaving place for the next one to be displayed on the ECAM/EFIS/whatever you call it?
(*) the data fed into if may be correct, but if the screen display itself is out of order/unreliable, the video will positively show it, when a FDR may not.
My 2 cents
