if there's a heavy preference for not having people, why were the replacements kept by the original editors? (why did they stick).
Does Wikipedia have a policy on logos in photos in general?
There is a ton of stuff companies could do that include their brand in an incidental way. Here is the article on kidney stones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease
imagine a medical supply company took an objectively much better photo but had its logo in tiny letters somewhere on the tape measure or a beaker or something. seems to me a fair trade, it's pretty hard to take stunning photos and there are lots of subjects that don't have it. as long as it's just a few pixels and passes a normal human filter (it's better than what it replaced) I am just not seeing the huge harm. if the after picture was worse, it should get shown in this outrage article.

Sure, no guarantee your pictures will get taken, and the marketing agency doesn't get to talk how cleverly they avoided getting caught by Wikipedia editors, but that's the kind of thing that makes people unhappy about your contributions.
