Not "Not really". It's the majority by far.
Yes "Not really". The majority is not really everybody.

I think something has been lost in translation here. At least in the US and UK, responding with "Not really" to a statement usually implies that the statement is completely incorrect. As in, you aren't offering a simple correction from "everyone" to "a majority", but rather suggesting that it isn't even a majority.

I've lived quite a long time in the U.S if I say not really I don't mean it's completely incorrect - I do mean there are very glaring omissions though.

It depends. Larger companies with traditional HR departments stickung to "the rules" will sort you out.
Smaller companies like startups, especially without large HR, don't care about photos.
I never place a photo, martial status, or birthdate on my CV. Yet, I even got hired by Novartis (in Austria).
If a German company of any size really were to sort me out sure to those "omissions" on my CV, it's probably for the better - I doubt we could ever be a match.
Not really.
The more educated people are about this topic (e.g. have read "The Google Resume" by Gayle McDowell, which I highly recommend), or have had startup experience, the less common it is.
We all should stop doing it, everybody will benefit.
