That has been my experience as well. The nuanced exception: online dating. During a date looks don’t matter much but getting swiped right? Being photogenic really helps. Which is not the same thing as looks but it plays into it

Problem with online dating is that it's designed to make users act based on the profile pictures (mostly). You notice this because in most apps the first and most prominent detail of a profile is the picture.

Online dating is like online chats, people behave differently

Hence photoshop and photography skills by observing the tricks that models do

It is a problem indeed and I decided to get good at being photogenic - comparatively to how I am built/how I look
