People Webpart doesn't show the pictures
I just looked into this yesterday for the same reason. Here's a link to info on the User Profile sync process.

What gets synced right away is limited for SharePoint (unlike other things like Teams). The Picture field does not get synced right away. It happens on a later, irregular sync that happens.
I did find a couple of links to PowerShell scripts to force a User Profile update for that field.

It would be nice if they would fix this...
