But this is a public court with an ostensibly neutral judge with counsel from both plantiff and defendant... Who is "they"?

I mean, I'm just some random person speculating on the internet. I have no idea why that's their policy. But would you trust a lawyer who can't turn off a kitten face filter with securing a video recording of your court hearing on their home computer? Or would you be worried if your opponent in court was allowed to have a recording of your case and any of your testimony?

Conversely, an endothermic animal can remain active in a variety of temperatures and also use thermoregulation to fight infection.

But yeah we have very high energy demands and so can't chill as much as ectotherms.

Hmm, perhaps it's to regulate and manage where the recordings are stored. If they're on random laptops that could be compromised/hacked/stolen the fallout from that could be really bad.

Maybe the recordings are still available to be accessed etc with the right permission.
