I think you have a baked in assumption that hiring is fair. Because you might think that when interacting with clients it makes sense to hire based on looks or at least implicitly it sounds like that's what you're thinking. But we have lots of biases that don't actually make sense. Thinking good looking people are somehow better seems totally likely to be one. And, in fact, this study says is a bias

The study is kind of weird, because that's simply not how things are conducted during hiring: nobody puts their picture on their resume.
I think some other countries do, but the norms are decidedly against that in the USA, probably to avoid biases like this.

But it is very common to go search out someone's LinkedIn, which does have a profile picture.

This research makes it seem like a good idea not to provide pictures in general.

Maybe yours does, but plenty don't.
