It's jarring and implies that either celebrities or everyone in Springfield is deformed.

Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!
Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"
To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.
But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

Guess the Episode "Rules"
- Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
- If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
- Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
- Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
- Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
- Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".
These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Or its because people percive the face and body of a celebrity differently to regular people For a in universe answer
For an out of universe answer it's probably because they want to bring more viewer attention to the cameo to say "hey, this person is not a normal character"
I think it's that it's hard to draw a real person in a way that is identifiable, while also following the style of the simpsons.
The bulbous eyes and rounded features removes the identifiable facial features of the celebrity so they don't do it.
I think it's because the cartoon characters were designed in the 1980s and the celebrities are first appearing in current year. If they have a compelling new character it's usually drawn better than Bart etc. too.
Seriously only Bart, Lisa and Maggie have the where does their head end and hair begin question
