The biggest catalyst for this is knowing most visual testing tools image diffing is done with 1-2 libraries out there. I worked at Percy for four years (prior to acquisition and after) and it was imagemagik (at the time). Argos CI uses odiff, lots of different platforms use these sorts of libraries.
I wanted something that would allow me to visually test my live sites, with live dynamic data, and not have to plaster ignore regions all over the place. And I think I have!
