They have a pretty picture on the front page each day. That was the argument a client gave me once why she used Bing.

It really is a good concept. I think there is a Win10 theme too that displays a random Bing image of the Day daily for your desktop wallpaper.

This sounds like a terrible idea. Bing image search is not always good at ascertaining what is and isn't appealing to the prurient interest.

Bing Image Search doesn't come into the picture I think. It's Bing Image of the Day. It's usually a generic picture like hidden waterfalls or some spot in Ireland or some cave city in Turkey. The lock screen adds a nice factoid too with each picture.

I like having the image of the day on the lock screen. I'm too particular about my desktop wallpaper to allow it to be changed daily.

That adds to your cognitive load. When using a search tool you should be presented with a blank screen where you enter your search keywords.
