I don't see this being such a big gap. There are some use-cases for sure but apart from UX/UI work it is not really needed. Besides, none of the frontier models can replicate actual images - the can approximate at least in my own experience.
a pretty fun and quick tests i do with vision models is to screenshot the hackernews homepage and ask the model to return a json representation of the screenshot - qwen 3.5 0.8b did surprisingly well at this.
