This article is perfect use case for AI generated graphics: small, presumably personal blog for which commissioning an artist for illustrations would not make sense both from time and financial perspective.

Quality, presumably. If the publication is typeset in print, graphics can be a hugely important part of the visual presentation of an article. A well resourced publication will be able to hire an artist to create graphics which playfully engage with the subject matter - joke cartoons like in the New Yorker, for example, or something more abstract but meaningful for a more thinky piece.
