Yeah, so much of IF puzzles is EXAMINING or otherwise manipulating specific THINGS hinted at but not necessarily explicitly highlighted in the description to reveal further important details, which a prompt-generated image purporting to show the whole scene would tend to gloss over, get wrong or (if exposed to the detailed description of the thing) reveal too much of. Artists working on point and click type equivalent puzzle games have to be clever about that.
I do wonder what it'd be like to have images accompanying something like Emily Short's Counterfeit Monkey which works brilliantly because it's all wordplay. I get the feeling the answer is "less engaging" and "less intuitive", but at least - procedurally generated or otherwise - they wouldn't look like stock photos.
