This is why so many cameras made before 2019 have a 30 minute record limit for video!
Such an interesting reason when you begin to look into it. It certainly makes sense that it is profit driven, as these cameras are expensive to produce and getting hit with a 5-12% tax would be a huge loss. It was much better for manufacturers to just limit the record time, because everyone was doing it. I loved my Sony A7iii but the 30 limit record time was crippling to my workflow for interviews!
