This is really a cultural issue. In the US, pictures are a big no-no but in my experience with LATAM and European companies, pictures are common if not expected.

Design wise, the picture is a good opportunity for visual appeal.

Picture on resume is not mandatory. Users always can just to leave picture field blank and on resume it will shows default dummy/universal photo for all genders.

I don't think anyone would want a placeholder in their resume, but I agree that this being an online version, not having a picture is mostly an annoyance (you can easily find someones picture online).

I've heard some absurd stories coming from South Korea. Some people have gotten plastic surgery done just so the head-shot on their CV looks better.

Yep, if you Google "Philippine Resume", you can really tell that pictures in a resume is the norm there.
