We have a professional photographer come in once per quarter, all new hires have their photo taken - and anyone who wants an update are able to join. For remote employees however, this just isn't possible. There are opportunities for this at team offsites or conferences, so with careful planning provided they're not too far offsite, it's still possible. Depends on the company. There's also cultures, beliefs and personal preferences that just run diametrically opposed to having your headshot on every message you send. I think for those younger-looking people, having no profile photo at all can actually be beneficial in more traditional environments.
