I agree, I just don't understand this newfound hatred of AI-generated stock photos, when stock photos have always been bland and almost never a value-add for content. I'm especially confused about this for feature images, because I would expect in most cases any helpful image (like a graph or diagram) would make for a really unattractive or incomprehensible thumbnail, and thumbnails are where featured images get the most exposure (social media previews etc).
