Well, the user has selected a desktop wallpaper he likes, presumably with a pleasing color scheme. Taking vibrancy from an image the user has already indicated a preference for is much kinder than blurring in whatever happens to be in a window behind the foreground app.

As much as the translucency effect is annoying and a performance drag, it is at least consistent with the layered windows metaphor. You'd be better off just making your window entirely opaque, and I think we should be doing that to send Apple the message that we don't want the stinking translucency effect.
