Is there any possible utility for observations of cultivated crops or harvested products photographed in a market/at home?

Somewhat related to this…

I’ve been really bothered by the default photo for papaya:

It appears to be a market photo. It was taken from Flickr, not iNaturalist, so it has no “grade”, research or otherwise. Last week I changed the default photo for the species to a photo that shows an actual plant with leaves and fruit. But now the default is back to the apparent market photo. Why is this? How can a market photo of fruit be repeatedly chosen as the default photo for a species?
