I dunno, I think there is a place for image-focused clients that aren't just "Find all the kind 1 notes that have an image link in them." Though, admittedly, florian (npub1klr…7gxc) built a pretty good one with slidestr.net.
Many kind 1 clients also let you share your kind 20 notes easily as a kind 1 quote-post, if you want it to be seen on a "main feed." And when it comes to fragmentation, there is nothing stopping kind 1 clients from adding kind 20 to their main feeds, too. Heck, I just created a custom feed on #Coracle that does just that.
Having a separate kind allows each client to do something different, or decide not to include them at all. I like having the flexibility for Amethyst to do a feed of kind 20 and 22, Freeflow to just do kind 22, Olas to just do kind 20, Jumble to have separate tabs for kind 1 and kind 20, without any kind 22, and Coracle to allow the user to build a feed of whatever kinds they want to see in the same feed. Having clients do different things with the same content is one of Nostr's superpowers, right? It allows users to choose the client that best serves them the content they want to see in the way they want to see it.
