It’s also been almost 23 years since the last Galileo flyby of Europa. Yes, Galileo had higher resolution cameras, but Juno has things like MWR that can actually due ice-penetrating measurements.
While the SRU didn’t start out as a science instrument, it is officially one now in the extended mission. Higher resolution than JunoCAM and more sensitive so it can take pictures in Jupiter-shine that JunoCAM can’t really do.

I'm not saying this is a bad image. I know a lot of people onJuno and it's a worthwhile mission. I'm just reacting to the recency bias.
