Did the media refuse to publish the images on January 6th because they were in bad taste, or does the media just not make a habit of printing images from other publications unless there is some particular reason to do so? I don't know for sure, but I'd suspect that it's the later.
Now that there are multiple reasons to do so (primarily relevance to the news, but secondarily as a sign that violence and threats of violence will not control whether or not that relevant news gets fully reported), it wouldn't be out of spite and it certainly wouldn't give "them" power. In fact, it would do just the opposite.
