The default wallpaper is meant to be pleasing, and I guess it’s meant to appeal to the average person? I’ve known several people that don’t change their wallpapers or that use that automatic carousel thing with a different image every time you wake the device.
I usually set my wallpaper once right after install then never change it. I only see it for a few seconds right after boot anyways. If you see your wallpaper then you aren’t really doing anything.

I use sway these days. It’s tiling, so I rarely see my desktop background anymore.
But not everyone uses a tiling system.
While I like the idea of avoiding having onscreen pixels wasted showing useless information, and I think that tiling systems do help achieve this, I avoided tiling systems for some years, as a fair bit of software still didn’t play well with it (e.g. I remember default behavior with GIMP being half of the screen being the main window, half being the GIMP toolbar window). I think that we’re past that phase now, but there are people who prefer stacking window systems for various reasons and don’t use tiling systems.

IDK man, I like knowing that Frieren is looking out for me in the background. Even if I don’t see it, I appreciate that it’s there.

You just gotta be careful which automatic carousel you use…
