If these images were stored on the blockchain, would that make a difference?

  None at all, since those "unique" assets can be copied freely because the blockchain is public. I'm really puzzled about why aren't they publishing a low-res copy of the image, and sending the buyer of the NFT the unpublished high-res version. That way only the buyer (and the artist) would have that file, and by keeping it secret they could make it rare, albeit not necessarily valuable.

    Same reason they're not assigning copyright or granting a commercial license as part of the sale -- it's just a scam, and those things aren't necessary for the scam to function. And because the marks think that they're gonna get rich off owning a blockchain pog with a link to a monkey jpeg, the art doesn't have to be good, either.
