No one, that I know, has a problem using free images where they exist. The problem is, when editors remove Fair Use images because a free one *might* exist, without actually having or adding any free image. So the article goes image-less simply because of a POINT.
One of the important aspects to claiming fair use of a copyrighted work is that a replacement for it is not possible.
This is a very different thing from "we haven't got around to finding a replacement yet, so we'll use this until we do".
