They actually added that feature this year, at least as long as you upload your wu/cd as a separate activity/ies. They call it "mute activity", where the privacy settings stay however you set them (i.e. 'everyone' or 'followers'), and then you can additionally select the mute box to not publish a given activity to the home and club feeds.

Also, if you're wearing different shoes in a warm up and cool down then your actual workout, Strava won't let you log multiple shoes for a single run. It makes a difference for people tracking the mileage on their shoes.

I agree with the other 3, but the most annoying of all is 18-19 minute 5k runners labelling a 45-60 minute run at 4:20/km (sub-7/mile) as "easy run".

everything is now set to private.

I'll start-

a) Any activity of like 3 miles or less purely for ramping up weekly count like "run to track/park" "run back home" "warm up" "cool down"

b) Elapsed time is consistently like 30 minutes or more than running time, how are you not embarrassed or feel like you're wasting your time

c) People throwing in random 90+ mile weeks and then immediately going back down to 20 because they're way in over their head

d) uninteresting pictures like selfies and from your route

People who don't want their slow warmup or cooldown to count on easy days. So they'll start their watch only after 5 minutes and before the end of their run.

The point is so their run pace isn't held down by a warmup and cooldown.

then after the run they'll add a manual 'missing miles' activity to get credit for the warmup.

I mean come on.

Why do you care? None of this affects you in the slightest. Live your life and let others live theirs.
