The Simpsons images not showing up in actors galleries

I've noticed several times recently when I add an image to a Simpsons episode of someone playing themself the image won't show up in the actors gallery as well. Why is that? It does so for any other film or TV show. Why not The Simpsons images?

"Voice actors for animated titles can be tagged if the character is clearly displayed within the image. For animated titles, we will display the actor tags within title image gallery, but not within the name image gallery." https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/image-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#names

Marc Maron was playing himself interviewing Crusty the Clown on his podcast.

I think the last part of the quoted passage means that for animated titles, title images tagged with names do not appear on the associated name pages. I guess this is programmed and does not depend on who the actor is playing. Aside from that, there are also many images on non-animated titles that are not displayed on name pages, but in my understanding this has to with how they were added or who added them.
