What is the reason for someone in the network to not want the filtering? Does this break some websites?

My own devices are covered, I definitely want full filtering even when not at home and my devices are completely hackable, but I'm wondering if such a tool would be a convenience for other people using the network in particular with less hackable devices, and people likely to use my network are likely totally uninterested in ads, but I don't want this to be a pain.

Yes, it breaks some websites and apps that they use for work. My pihole also only runs on my “private” network, the “guest” network is not filtered.

Apple’s Private Relay also does not work behind a pihole.

Private Relay does work, but it circumvents the Pihole (so no adblocking).

Okay thanks! I guess I'm not in the target of these things.

It breaks a lot of websites, I used NextDNS for about two years but got tired of the headaches.

I used to need my wife's devices on the whitelist too - she had a job working with tracking and needing to see trackers fire when she loaded webpages etc. I once made a mistake and she got unwhitelisted and waited 4 hours wondering why her tracking codes "weren't working"
