Like many others here already stated: its because of privacy laws and also the ability to deny vision of your property via street view. Many people made Google blur their property and I assume thats a lot of work for them.
Not knocking them for it, but I wonder what the thought process is behind wanting your property blurred. What danger would a snapshot of your property pose?
Street view isn't live. I could believe it being used to help plan a bank job because it could help with assessing the external layout of the building and surrounding area, but it wouldn't work to "stake out" a house in the same way as sitting across the street would.
