It quit working due to architectural changes that the people making
the changes were not interested in putting into the QuickCam driver,
and which the QuickCam users did not put in themselves (mostly because
the changes were not well documented).

Sort of like the reason FreeBSD doesn't support the ISODE or X.25 code.
