Why do people blur out their license plates when posting pictures of their vehicles online?

Maybe it’s just me, but that makes zero sense. Your license plate is visible to literally EVERYONE when you’re driving around and even parked in your driveway. Why blur it out in pictures?

In person your plate is visible to those around you at that moment. If you post it online, it’s visible to anybody who can see that image, whenever. It’s like changing clothes with the window open. Your risk is anybody with your window in view at the moment. Or doing similar outside where you can see roughly who might be able to see you.
