Yeah, there's a lot of older quests that don't support recently updated visuals or current customization options. For example, the Dragon Primal quests feature a Baby dragon, even though your dragon was grown to a Toddler when doing them. It also doesn't display any customization your dragon might have. Inviting players to PVP also doesn't load their DL customizations correctly, either (though character pages load them correctly!).
As Callum mentions, it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of old content that was created long before the updated visuals or customizations. So they just weren't made to support these visuals! A lot of it is being upgraded - character pages support DL customization, for example, and there are regular reimagined releases that involve reworking old content in general. Dove recently tweeted that he fixed the shading issue for DL customization, so there's definitely effort being expended on similar issues. But there's a lot of work for the devs to do, and getting Archknight to work is unfortunately just... not the highest priority. :(
At the end of the day, I also wish that all the visual bugs in DF were fixed. But there's a matter of priorities - I'd rather get DL customization that sometimes fails to show up on old quests or PVP, than not get it at all. And I'd rather that Verly and Dove work on fixing Early Sulen'eska, making Inn bosses, wrapping up the Proc War questline, or animating and coding Fleshweaver, than fix customizations in some of the older content.
