That's also true for digital designs (like movies or books). Modern tools aren't magically producing content, they are tools, not a creative AI, they aren't "making graphics", no more than your Word is writing your texts, there's work to be done, and there's just no reason to produce high quality assets to use in a mockup (which is basically a draft, something you put together to show how it could work, the sequences of actions in the UI), it's not supposed to reflect the end result and things are highly likely to change at this point (because it's still pre-prod).
If you want to pitch me an idea for a story, you won't spend ages carefully putting a cover together to illustrate it, and the fact that Photoshop or InDesign are far more advanced than the tools we had 10-15 years ago don't change that. You just have no reason to spend time on something that just isn't that useful at that point. Why wait for high quality assets when all you want is to illustrate how the UI could work ?
