They don't have to and certainly they will not be interested in trying to appease conspiracy theorists. It's quite clearly a photo poorly blended from a couple of similar shots. Phones can do this themselves and they're not particularly great at it.

It looks more like a complete composite - unless I'm misreading / falling for the intent of that Vogue photo link earlier. If that's true, they've already attempted to release a photo to appease conspiracy theorists.
The vogue photo? Two pictures of the same person look similar? Well I never. They have completely different lighting which would take some knowledge of photo manipulation to correct which goes against the sloppiness of the other artefacts in the photo
