Why do passenger planes not have CCTV?

I see a lot of investigations spend years digging through the black box to determine things that would have been obvious if a camera was involved in the cockpit.

CCTVs don’t really provide any data that’s useful. It’s typically hard to pick up audio (which is being recorded anyway), and the results of any pilot actions (switches/buttons, throttle position, et cetera) are also already recorded. It would be additional cost and time, for no real additive benefit.
