I think that the answer is easy it being implemented in serious contests: minimal intervention.

It was also HCB's belief and of many others - one must convey human emotion not artifices.

OTH those were introduced from the start, in daguerrotypes that were arranged as composites, because the lens could not cover the whole FOV.

So IMHO, for scientific purposes one might use time lapse and other techniques that show the underlying reality.

But basically photography is related to the act of seeing, which predates the picture.
