They used to model dinos after lizards which have the skin stretched over their bones for the most part. That was decades ago, but the anemic dinosaur art lives on.
Yes, modern reconstructions take into account muscle tissue and the fact that dinos were not just giant lizards.

It could be that all of the lifeforms the aliens have ever seen had that shrink-wrapped look, so they’d have no reason to look for muscle attachments
