IT enforced background blur for GDPR reasons. You simply couldn't turn it off, so everybody was blurred during the daily standup.
The sound of thousands of underpowered integrated graphics processors, their fans screaming in agony.
Most people have workstation laptops with Nvidia Quadro's so that's not really an issue.

We don't even use Cameras anymore for anything except explicitly scheduled one-on-one meetings like Quarterly Review.
I despise these blurred backgrounds. I understand if you use it when working from home and don't have a dedicated office, but so many people do it even when they're at the corporate office. The flickering is just super annoying.
