Because if you were using iCloud Photos your photos will be in iCloud and not part of a backup.


What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support.


You can "get those photos onto" your phone by enabling iCloud Photos on your device providing you have enough iCloud storage space and device storage space to hold them.
