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?

The simple answer is the internet is full of creeps. There are plenty of documented cases of individuals using internet searches to stalk and harass those who hold different views, or for predation, or for the lulz (like “swatting”). If you post a picture with a license plate, and someone takes that and uses it to track down the owner of that car for the purposes of harassing them, you could be held liable.
I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not sure how much things like this would be held up in court, but people take the prudent approach and blank out that attributable data.
