They almost certainly did DPO it, so that would have an effect. It was also probably just trained more on professional photography than cell phone pics.
I’ve found it odd how there’s a segment of the population that hates a shallow depth of field now, as they’re so used to their phone pictures. I got in an argument on Reddit (sigh) with someone who insisted that the somewhat shallow depth of field that SDXL liked to do by default was “fake.”
As in, he was only ever exposed to it through portrait mode and the like on phones and didn’t comprehend that larger sensors simply looked like that. The images he was posting that looked “fake” to him looked to be about a 50mm lens at f/4 on a full frame camera at a normal portrait distance, so nothing super shallow either.
