Why would you expect that? I expect privacy to mean that the service isn't harvesting my data. I wouldn't expect it to strip the tags from my music.

This tool is an ergonomic replacement for things `ffmpeg` and `imagemagick`. Among the privacy-conscious, these tools are the go-to for stripping unwanted metadata, so I'd want the same from a replacement.

Of course, ffmpeg can do a lot of things, and I wouldn't expect them all to be supported. But I do expect metadata stripping (at least as an option) from a tool with privacy in the headline.
