When ever a web page uses the camera it only has access to the selfie cam

Actually it doesn't even help the dev as it is a qr code scanner that polls the camera continuously

Even in that case the developer can get the list of all MediaDevices and switch between them. That's how videocall web apps allow you to change cameras both on desktop and mobile.
