ELI5: Why do people think that blacking out their eyes in pictures protects their identity?

Is it for plausible deniability or what? I feel like I would recognize someone with enough visible markers on their face or body. I dunno, but that's why I'm asking.

Eyes presumably show the most emotion / personality etc of any body part, so we're most likely to remember those, if we see them again.

Also, who blacks out their own eyes..? It's usually done by others to protect the identity of someone.
