The bug

Given #2668 introduces support for imagemagick and libraw, this fallback should be unnecessary. ImageMagick should have almost universal support and automatically use the embedded preview if required (though, it probably should never be required). Removing this fallback mechanism from Immich should reduce code footprint and general complexity which is always a good thing.
