"No thumbnails in the file picker" is a longstanding meme, as I understand it. Somewhere there's a >decade-old bug report (feature request?) about it.
I don't mind it personally as I happen to be aware enough to be able to locate most files without thumbnail previews. But it would lessen the cognitive load of using GNOME if they had proper thumbnail views.
Maybe when they switch everything to GTK4. One can hope.
