Okay, to be fair to your point, I also think 480p is enough for a doorbell camera, unless you’re trying to ID stuff that’s far away from your door.

But also, you can’t compare the quality of a still photo with good lightning, and probably some good editing as well, vs a video that mixes in compression artifacts, and also depends on how good the hardware is. That’s why 480p videos taken with cameras 15 years ago look much worse than 480p videos taken with phones today.

Tl;Dr: not all 480p is created equal.

There’s a way to fix that, but we have been convinced we need to “stay civil” while the rich fuck us over.
