Am I being gaslit? TMDB doesn't support Landscape Posters, except it does - and I can prove it.

Hi all
As I'm sure you're all aware, self-hosted media streaming services like Plex and Jellyfin commonly use TMDB as the source for media images. A typical suite of images for a Movie or a TV show would be the Poster, a Backdrop, and a Logo which are all provided by TMDB no problem. They will also usually have what's called a "Thumb" image in Jellyfin, which is basically a landscape-oriented Poster image.
Now I know you're going to say that TMDB has no landscape posters/thumb images, but trust me, it really does! Have a look at this Imgur album where I've shared some screenshots illustrating this whole thing.
My problem is, as far as I can tell, TMDB has no way of uploading these Thumb images! Occasionally I come across something which has no Thumb image available, so I'll make one for myself. Then I want to share it of course, so others can have it in the future, but I can't because there's no place to upload it!
Furthermore, somebody must be creating and uploading these to TMDB because even brand new Movies and TV Shows have these Thumb images available from TMDB.
Hopefully someone out there can shed some light on this situation, it's been driving me up the wall because I want to share the images I've created for Media that doesn't have them, and I can't, and everything online is telling me I'm crazy for even thinking that TMDB has these images when it clearly does 😅 (again, refer to Imgur album above).

Those types of images are uploaded as Backdrops with the language set appropriately.
Here's the English-language Backdrops section for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, showing the same five images as your Imgur screenshot: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/839033-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-war-of-the-rohirrim/images/backdrops?image_language=en

I've been poring over the Jellyfin source since I made this post (which I've done before, but never got anywhere) and I literally just opened this site again to test that theory when I saw the notification symbol for your reply! Thanks a bunch!
