Even when cracked into dozens of pieces, you can still usually glean a useful image from a mirror.

iPads aren't cameras. They're computers with ultra-miniaturized cameras built into them.
Robust digital cameras that don't have tiny sensors and which don't need to be tightly packaged in with other hot electronic items have a decent shelf life, and they cost a lot less. Using a standardized part would make camera replacement painless.
I currently have to pay a few hundred dollars to replace a power-adjustable side mirror after some loon has knocked it off. My GoPro costs less than that, and many high-definition off-the-shelf security cameras cost even less.
And nothing new, nowadays, is carbureted.
