I keep hearing this around but I don’t get it. If anything, shouldn’t the faster retargeting speed and more focused gameplay be an advantage?

External link →Some specs, spectre in particular, requires you to place AoE abilities very close to yourself and your allies. Action cam makes this very difficult, since there’s a minimum distance between yourself and your crosshair
I've seen this specific reply come up several times over the years, so to make sure everyone knows their options:
When using action camera, ground targeting will snap to your position if you have the Snap Ground Targeting enabled and aim your camera straight down. You can find the checkbox under General Options, Combat/Movement.
If you don't want Snap Ground Targeting enabled all the time, there are two keybinds also tied to it (Control Options, Targeting):
-- Snap Ground Target: inverts the current snap ground target settings as long as the key is held down, so if it's off by default, this key enables it, and vice versa.
-- Toggle Snap Ground Target: same as above but you don't have to hold the key down.
Snap ground targeting was made to help solve the disconnect between aiming directly at your enemy for normal skills but then aiming at their feet for ground-targeted skills (especially weird for big enemies), so if you're like me you may prefer to have it on all the time. However, because of its very nature it can make it difficult to place AoEs so that they'll hit moving targets, which is where the toggle keybinds become useful. Alternately, you might prefer having snap ground targeting off by default and use a keybind to turn it on only when you need to aim at your feet. Even more alternately, if you don't want to bother with snap ground targeting, there's the possibility of turning action camera off briefly to place your AoE skill. There are options, is my point.
