This is because your camera is zoomed out, so the gizmo lines are hidden by the gizmo icon (whose size is fixed, regardless of camera distance). This is why the camera gizmo icon is no longer shown since Godot 3.4: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/49644

If you zoom in with the editor camera, you should see the Camera node's purple gizmo lines appear.
