The reality for people who own homes is that it's more or less trivial to track down an address in general unless someone has a common name and there aren't obvious clues to their general location online.

This is true, but I don't think most people go through a complicated opsec calculus. Blasting a home address out to hundreds or thousands of strangers will feel weird for most people. I found lots of threads from people asking about this when I went out looking to see if this was a normal worry. I know ~three pieces of information is enough to find almost anything on someone and I still don't want to make it any easier for them.
