I'm happy to comply if there is a standard I don't know about, or if it the graphic is not appearing to some users. What is the reason for this request?

The reason is mainly that text in an image is not searchable and can't be read by screen-readers, so it is discouraged as a general rule on SE. See e.g. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116050/… or meta.stackexchange.com/questions/141752/…
