It is a shame, but those that are likely to plaster their house with it

seem to be likely to join in the sort of nonsense seen in Amsterdam recently.
Obviously that's not true of all, but you've got the question the deep seated motivation around showing THAT MANY England flags.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with displaying an example of your national flag, and people shouldn't be 'tainted' for doing.

I agree with what Ralph says about it being a bit American though, always looked a bit odd to me to see so residential properties displaying/flying a flag.
You know where you are, you live there, so what's the point?

Odd though, not wrong, I just don't really get it myself.
