It’s not, your premise is wrong. There are thousands of extremely high quality images from space. Take 30 seconds to look. Have you never seen pictures from the Hubble Telescope? Or from Perseverance Or Cassini? You just see the initial low-res black and white versions first because data transmission rates are slow and those images come in first.
