My take - no, there should not be a rule that forces sellers to maximize the marketing of their wares.
If you're a seller and don't want to use every available tool to sell your merchandise then that's your call. Lets those that do include scans reap the rewards of their efforts.
Ebay doesn't require pictures, but if you don't use that function you're not going to get the same returns you would if you did.
Selling things is not about having things for sale. Its all about marketing.
