The "headshots" idea seems to be optimised for the listening habits of the author of this post. Not every artist (and almost none in my library) is a singular person. For that matter, I don't really care what the artist looks like. I'm more likely to recognise a logo when available, or an album cover failing that.

I can't recognize a single artist from his screenshots besides Lady Gaga.

MusicBee has some kind of band shot next to each band name. It is nice - but in my list most of the bands are 3 to 5 dudes, so you can't really recognize the bands with the headshot.

But I am definitely the hoarder type from his characterization - so his music player is most definitely not the one for me.

Agreed, I think the author thought "Tinder is cool, what about Tinder for music?"
