I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence. The use of stock photos for a New item is the standard way that items are listed on the interenet.
As for your second point, it is the eBay conundrum ... eBay does not allow the use of stock photos (or provide stock photos for use), yet sellers need to show photographs of the item. I suppose it would be most accurate to call the condition "New (other)" and explain that the item was opened for photography.

Fwiw, in some instances the stock photo showing has nothing to do with the seller. It's the eBay catalog that in more and more categories sellers are forced to use. The system is not supposed to show the stock photo on a 'New Other" listing, but in my experience it does happen.

New and out of a box are not mutually exclusive.
Bonus round: Not every category has "New Other"
