the difference is, its not even remotely easy to snap a photo even halfway decent stock photo of an office space with random people, especially with so many people not working from home.
it's pretty easy to tell some generative software to "Female giving a presentation in a well lit office with windows open" and get something pretty decent.
This goes for anything that needs props that a normal person doesn't have.

Tell me you haven't tried Stable Diffusion without telling me you haven't tried Stable Diffusion.

Is it? I tried that exact prompt with dall-e and got 4 images with nightmare fuel faces: https://imgur.com/a/yyt5Tax

As someone who actually tried it, with current models it's possible but neither easy nor straightforward. Getting decent and coherent images is still hard and requires finetuning, so there is certain value in this. And for very specific and series-consistent images I'd still rather set up a photo session if I had a studio.
It will change for stock photos, but probably not very soon.
"female with two hands that have five fingers, and normal looking face, giving a presentation in a well-lit office with correct shadows, and a clock on a wall that is perfectly round with legible roman numerals correctly placed around the dial ..."
