Is it in the realm of science fiction to suggest that they are snooping on your pics in order to have a better understanding of their victims so they can target them with more personalised ads?

no, but its expensive to do for little gain. Look at all the stupid snooping shit facebook, its all about getting a concrete link between persona and buying an object.

scanning photos is a detectable gamble, and the signal you'll get for that is pretty questionable. You're also assuming that they can over come conways law to actually pull it off. The risk of doing that vs the reward of signal is not worth it.

It also will get them fined like a motherfucker by the FCC, as they still nominally have oversight over "privacy". I mean that now questionable, given the state of the executive branch.

Its far easier to just work out if a 14 year old girl has just deleted a photo and target them with body image products. Much safer from the FCC too.
