Because something is wrong.

 

If restarting your Mac doesn't get your camera working with any camera-capable app (example, Photo Booth), one of the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 will correct it.

 

(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

 

If your trouble is ONLY with the FaceTime app, take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4185
