Lots of reasons. You may not want clients or outside vendors to be looking into your home, which is IMO a sort of intimate thing. I have a client who has a custom, branded background so things look more professional and cohesive - very important in the financial field (or so I'm told). Or maybe your WFH setup is in the kitchen because that's the only space you had to put it and you don't want your kids, pets, and spouse ducking into and out of every meeting you have.
That’s part of the fun of working from home though. It lets people see the real you and how you live.
