Comment:

 Closing in favor of the plugin.

 #22058 now contains a refresh of custom backgrounds that adds support for
 `background-size`. But even with background-size support, there are too
 many variables to consider when setting up a background that will impact
 how much, if any, of an image is visible. Prominently supporting cropping
 as part of the background-upload flow is a false promise to users about
 what part of their image will be visible. There are plenty of ways to crop
 a background image currently, including cropping before uploading,
 cropping via the edit image functionality in the media modal, or using the
 plugin linked above.
