Well they are right, its not a green screen. The 2 microphones on the middle are whats fake. Near the end you see 2 microphone staff stand up. The other 2 microphones are the ones that clipped through. The computer trying to figure out depth got it wrong when he lent forward. You can see how the microphones follow the camera pan too well. Its those that are overlayed on the background and a computer tried to figure out depth incorrectly.
Its probably such a cheap cgi trick they turn it on just caus and add to the illusion that he is popular. Simple one click turn on fake microphone button on their software.
They know this but when the internet gets its slightly wrong by assuming the whole background is fake, they can yell conspiracy theory.
I doubt that.. The most agressive video compression algo is h.265. They pull out all the stops to reduce size. Things like taking a section of the image and moving it "clip-art" style if the camera pans. That could explain some artifacts, but you can't make up data that wasn't in the original. You can see his hanging cuffs covering the microphone in one snapshot. That wouldn't be a type of h.265 artifact, that data shouldn't be there if the microphone was really ontop of his hand. The edges on those cuffs while over the top looks like a traditional masking effect (not clean) as its probably being done on the fly. Like background filters on zoom meetings, you can tell because its trying to clip you out of the background in real time. Thats hard.
Edit, want to add. The blurriness of the white fussy microphone doesn't look like correct focus blurring, it looks more like a fast algorithm trying to approximate lens focal lengths. But it doesn't match the real microphones next to it. In otherwords the CGI program overlaying the microphones is trying to guess as to the focal length of the camera thats providing the background image, or they use a generic focal length that doesn't match the filmed video camera parameters.
The proportion of the size of the microphone to his arm is far to big while its supposedly behind him. That microphone is no where to be seen when it switches to the second angle as shown in this video. Only the left narrow microphone and perhaps the slightly thicker one next to it are seen on the end of booms.
At 40/41s in on the full clip: https://streamable.com/o8h98e you can see the only two real mics on booms. Not extended all that far, Biden doesn't walk up THAT close to account for the fuzzy mic's size (which isn't there in the wide shot) if it really was under his arm.

I thought the same until I saw the second angle clip. Now I think it's just the compression algo unable to deal with the fuzzy mic.

Just look at the second angle. They have the black mic all the way up to his belt and the grey one around his elbow.
Here is the relevant video starting at 9s where the clipping is the greatest. https://youtu.be/g0139UytcR8?t=9
