Don't overestimate how detailed they are. They're showing a lot of features, but those features are very, very large.
When you see swirls in the atmosphere of Jupiter, like on this page: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/jupiter/in-depth/
Be sure to look at the size comparison: those details you're looking at are the size of Earth. Something as small as, say, Alaska, you probably wouldn't be able to see, because the pictures aren't that detailed.
