The choice of wallpapers depend on the individual user, and while some people change the wallpaper depending on their mood, there are some who set a theme for their wallpaper, while the rare few let the wallpaper remain unchanged.

Apple has been open to this demand from their customers, and they have made it a point to provide some truly high definition wallpapers with every major macOS launch.
