I've been in a few stores/public places that used self-generated images for murals like this. The reason they're doing it is because it's free. It used to be some graphic design student's first job but they can now cut that position entirely. Who cares if the end result is liable to summon unholy extradimensional horrors?
Letting the community paint a mural could also be free at least to the people participating, and as I stated, would be a dream opportunity for particularly creative kids in the community, although I don't know about current kids given I grew up at a time when huge wooden playgrounds put up by the community were a thing.
Sadly the one where I live got torn down and replaced with a modern plastic facility after 25 years, but the art tile walls and towers made by the members of the community who originally built the wooden facility, were all preserved.
-sigh- Lawton, OK, you used to be cool once.....
