You came up with an analogy that doesn't make sense.

the similarity is that they store images for viewing
neuro-typical people got it
Except for the fact that they don't store images and can't display them, sure.
I'm probably too thick to understand it. But please keep repeating your bullshit analogy.

can't have it both ways, they either don't [ever] store, or you're too thick
NFTs can in-fact store complete binary data and complete vector data. There are some examples and some production projects doing both of those things. But more commonly they typically load a URL to an image, and people prefer that instead of a URL that its on an IPFS URI, but people accept an IPFS proxy URL.
In all scenarios, a separate technology/viewer/website is used to access the standard method which returns the data to be interpreted. Which is where things are dissimilar. Analogies don't compare aspects that are dissimilar [0]. Any one similarity satisfies the criteria for an analogy.
