Why can only the Photo Drone see ghost memories? Why can't the Caretaker?

I'm enjoying the game, but one thing doesn't make sense to me.
The ghost memories (the scenes of humans from the past) only show up through the Photo Drone's camera. The Caretaker can't see them at all.
The Photo Drone is a small camera drone the Caretaker builds and controls, so it's the Caretaker's own tech. A robot that can fly a drone with a camera should be able to switch its own vision to the same mode, whatever filter or sensor the drone uses.
Is there a lore reason for this? Or is it just a gameplay choice to make you build and fly the drone?
If I've missed a way to see them without the drone, please tell me. And if you have a theory about why the drone gets this ability, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks!
