having a set corporate-friendly background is good for maintaining a professional look

That kind of depends. When meeting with customers it might be preferred. But in most companies most of the computer screens are only seen by a handful of people who already work at the company.

I’ve really yet to see any inappropriate backgrounds

Inappropriate backgrounds would fall under the general inappropriate rules. Like watching porn at work. I've never seen that.

it’s something that means something to them

It might even be a nice icebreaker at times. Like a vacation picture could spark a nice little talk about the destination.

Yeah I think if I were in a decision making position and that was a decision to make, I'd include a standard corporate desktop image in my standard computer config but only enforce it by policy on customer-facing PCs
