In some geographies this feature is used as an advertising tool - I guess
promoting of Commons via this feature could be quite costly.

Those of you running Windows 10 will be familiar with
the
regularly-changing "lockscreen" images showing things like beautiful
scenery and scenes from nature:

screen-images-windows-10/
The last one I just saw was labelled "copyright [photographer name]
and Shutterstock"
Is there someone at WMF, with contacts at Microsoft, who could
persuade them to use some featured images from Commons, with a small
piece of text explaining that people may upload their own images?
That would seem to be a simple way to do a massive piece of outreach,
to a new audience.
