There are a lot of people other than blind people who use Bookshare,
dyslexic people for example, who can benefit quite well from pictures.

This might seem like a silly question, but how do such books actually
help anything by being part of the bookshare collection?

I assume you are talking about books like Where the Wild Things Are.
Such books are so dependant on the pictures that I'm really not sure
what a blind person would do with them, no matter how well the
pictures are described.

Am I just missing something here?
