I usually work in varied locations and rather not have the people I'm in call with see where I am. They don't need to know that I'm outside or in a cafe.
The green screen support is mostly for my home office, I can hang a generic green sheet behind me and get perfect background replacement.

Seeing that someone is trying to conceal their setting is 100x sketchier than being outside.

I'm not the person to whom you have replied but I'd say one could look at it from another perspective. I do not like the invasion of privacy from having others look into my home when I haven't invited them to do so. So, when I have a choice, I'll always remove or replace the background.

I'm on Zoom calls for work about 10 hours a week and custom backgrounds are very popular. Personally my office is a complete mess and putting a custom background on is much easier than cleaning.
I find that one curious. Can you elaborate on it? I'm having trouble thinking of a situation that would make it a need. I don't particularly want people having a view into my home, but it's easy enough for me to sit in front of a wall/curtain, or just move personal objects out of view.
The others are more interesting; thanks for the list.
Allow me to add one relevant to certain communities: Audio suitable for musical collaboration. The music teachers, students, and performers I know prefer Zoom because it works better than the alternatives they have tried. I think it's a combination of tolerable latency and the ability to disable audio processing that's designed for speech but distorts live music.
