That's true, but it's not like ugly people don't get photographed - ultimately a professional photographer is going to take photos of whoever pays them to do so. That explanation accounts for part of the bias I think, but not all of it

If I would get pictures taken by a photographer I would not allow them to be used as training data. I don't even like looking into a mirror. Maybe that's part of why there are less ugly people pictures to train with.

I would guess that ugly people are less likely to commission photos.
