This is the important part, cams.com, streammate and probably others call it 'HD', but the model is only sending out a sub 1Mbps stream of 640x480 into an Adobe Media Server. The quality is better than the 'norm', but it's far from HD.
From a technical side 'true' HD simple isn't going to be realistic for a number of years, 1920x1080 at 7-20Mbps, the average cam model doesn't have an internet connection with that kind of upload bandwidth, the average sub $100 web cam isn't going to produce a nice full resolution imagine, etc.
