    My understanding is, blurring backgrounds helps whatever’s in front stand out, because it reduces the visual noise around it. I don’t use it either but it can look nice if used well

        No, not really in the same way. Blurring turns high frequency noise into medium frequency noise, overlaying a solid color just dims the high frequency noise. Both are certainly helpful but they don’t have the same effect
