The idea of kind 20 is for people to share their own photographs and artwork. Something more than just sharing a screenshot, meme, or other image content that is often shared in kind 1 note, which would all get lumped into the same feed if it is just looking for kind 1 notes with image links.
Same thing as having a separate video kind. It is intended for posting original videos, with a title and description, as seen on flare.pub. Not just for every youtube or mp4 link someone might share in a kind 1 note.
Having separate kinds for such content allows each client to decide whether they want to have that content included in a single feed along with kind 1 notes, separate it out into a separate feed, let users decide what kinds they want in their feed, or not support certain kinds in their client at all.
