Motorola G7 Power Microphone problem - Muffled audio ! (Moto G Plus, E, X, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6)

Video of a very irritating problem for some Motorola users: when recording a movie with a unvarying background noise, such as sounds of the ocean/sea, rustle of the forest or such as here: aircraft from the inside (which is quite loud in the cabin if you ask me) and then crowded street - when recording those and similar events the sound gets 'muffled' or turned down as if one would cover the microphone or some noise remover was being used, but none of those cases happened.
One possibility is that the recording mode for the microphone mode was the same for conversations via calls as was for movie recording - if the sound was near and loud enough it would get caught but anything farer with a unchanging pitch or volume would get muted/muffled as here. That was very irrittating as it destroyed many good takes and videos and concerned MANY Motorola users, or so I read on the countless forums with people facing the same problem.
Seemed there as if Motorola technicians knew about those issues very well, those were reported after thorough investigations by many ever frustrated users but still, no solution was implemented by the company, even after serveral years and several more models on the market, where the problem was REPEATING... turned out they did not want to send patches/update to their users but turned to official Android update to version 10 instead, in which the problem was (for some users and me, G7 Power user) finally solved. But for one year of using the phone it wasn't and keep frustrating me as I could not fully use and enjoy the brand new phone I started using a year ago.
So in other words despite the full knowledge of the problem they rather waited for the problem to be solved by the OS update, which in some cases still has not yet arrived... Shame.
