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?

It’s different for someone behind me to see my license plate. They could just follow me. Same for in my driveway.

However, online gives my info about where I am and I don’t trust everyone.

Also, someone could fake my plate on a matching vehicle and cause problems. I got hundreds of dollars in toll road fees once because their plate was mistaken for mine. I didn’t have to pay, but it was a lot of hassle.
