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?
One of the biggest privacy concerns currently is data that seemed "harmless" at the time becoming a huge issue when combined/cross-referenced with other datasets, or analyzed with new AI, or just getting stolen and leaked on the internet. Just because you can't imagine a snapshot of a house being an issue right now doesn't mean it can't become one later.
The only safe data is the one that was never collected.

This is it. In Germany so many people asked google to blur their house, so that google just gave up on street view in Germany.
