Is the truth what we see now, or what it looked like when it was made? Both? :)

Who knows?

I could also image that originally, carving/scraping parts of the desert varnish from the rock, hundreds of years ago, might have actually looked closer to your digital enhancement than what the weathered image looks like today.
