That is intentional. All non-app-specific settings are stored at the OS level. The camera settings impact every piece of software that uses the camera, not just the “Camera” app.
That’s how all settings in iOS works and it’s only odd if you’re not familiar with it. Once you are familiar with Android AND iOS you see each systems way of doing things.
Not sure if it's changed since I had an iPhone, but the camera settings are located in the system settings app.
You have to exit the camera app, open system settings, find camera, just to change basic things.
On Android you just.. change the settings in the damn camera app..
