Nope, it works just like the write protect tab on the late lamented 3
1/2" floppy disk. Exactly the same. Now there is supposed to be
security firmware inside SD cards having to do with some DRM scheme or
other, but AFAIK it's never been used anywhere. The actual write

Nope. It's a matter of the tab being in place to block the appropriate part of
that opening where it resides. It doesn't turn anything on or off. It just
closes a window. If it's not there, you have to glue something over the window
to unlock the card.

Sure you don't have to worry about it, the camera thinks the card is
locked and won't write to it, nor will any properly designed card

The best thing about the lock tab coming off the SD card is that you never have
to worry about it again!

I make it a habit to always close the door. Sometimes I go out
without a card in, but I've never had a problem with leaving it open.
The media door on the other hand, I manage to leave that open all the
time, especially after using a remote shutter release. That doesn't
cause any problems though
