Yes, the way I see it the camera is used to track in-match strategy/gameplay which then helps the entire alliance make better strategic decisions. I think the point you're getting at is that it must help not only your team but the other teams on your alliance as well which there are many scenarios which it could help the entire alliance, like freeing stuck robots from defenses. However, this will be hard to prove if the head ref never allows it to happen.

but you can also use it for non-planning and tracking uses, and there is not really a way to exclude that capability.

Because this method prohibits you from connecting it to the operator console you are limited to simply watching the camera feed and making decisions off of that. I don't see how this data could be used to make a decision and not be used for planning or tracking. I can't come up with any examples of non-planning/tracking uses other than maybe entertainment but I don't think they'll prohobit that.
