No, it’s the 21st century reality of needing to protect yourself from insurance companies looking to spy on your house to set your insurance rates.

Literally hiding under a blanket: the day blurring out houses becomes widespread, they will just sent a human to look at your house.

That’s totally fine. They’ve been able to do that for 200 years and it hasn’t proved worth the cost.

Or use a data provider that doesn't allow opt-out and has no publicly available interface.

Good. That imposes a cost on whoever wants to look at someone's house and provides a disincentive to do it without a good reason.
