There are possibly several reasons for this. Assuming you are referring to images being blocked by default from senders that are not in your address book, this could be for the following reasons.

People may use images to track whether or not you received the email and opened it. If you load the email and it immediately calls for images on a server, the people that sent it can check to see if those images were ever downloaded by you. They could store just a tiny image for each user with a unique file name so they could secretly know whether or not you are opening the email (or spam) that they send to you. Not loading the images gives you more privacy potentially.

Also, some spam messages could contain explicit pictures, and so if an innocent subject line prompts you to click on something inappropriate inadvertently, you don't have to be exposed to it.

Pictures do not appear on Gmail due to some reasons. The pictures might be corrupt that are sent. Or there might be a bad internet connection associated too.

What Gmail setting must you activate so that you see an image in a Gmail message?

When you open new messages, some images may not appear immediately. Gmail disables images to protect you from unknown senders, like spammers, who use images and links to verify that your email address is real. Here's how to view those images: Sign in to Gmail. Open the message. Click Display images below in the green box above your message. Or, if you'd like to always view images from a particular sender, click Always display images from sender@domain.com instead. If you choose to always display images from a particular sender, you can disable this functionality at any time by following these steps: Sign in to Gmail. Open the message. Click show details at the top of the message pane. Click Don't display from now on. At the moment, you can't set Gmail to display all images from any sender; you must do this on a per-contact basis.
