ELI5: Why do we never see any of the thousands of satellites when we see images of Earth?

Because they are tiny.

Remember that when you see an image of Earth, it's about 8,000 miles across. A satellite is about the size of a car. So, really, it's the same reason that when you see a satellite image of the United States you can't see any people.
