Nid's default splash got updated, Annie's default and Goth were updated. And I think considering how bad the splash for goth was, it needed it a lot more than Nidalee.
Basically this. Additionally, I'm a bit less sensitive to "well, this other character got something, so I need something for this other character" - that expectation actually can hamstring us from doing stuff that's valuable for players unless we have time to do it 100% of the time.
The Goth Annie splash is older than the early Nidalee skins, so that might have driven the art team to do more here.
How is Leopard Nidalee's splash not on the same level as Goth Annie? It's one of those relics from the days where the only real differences between skin splash arts were the colors, and the poses/scenery were the same.
You'd have to ask the artists on that - they make visual decisions like that and I tend to want to let them
However, if we got the Goth Annie splash "for free" (ie some artist felt passionate and just busrt it out in their own time), I'm not going to discourage that because Nidalee didn't get it.
Nidalee splash rework?
Just out of curiosity, because Annie had her splash's reworked (including her skins) while Nidalee didn't.

In the Shurima Desert Zilean skin he's not selling time bombs on the back market. That would be racist!
So why's this ok?
This isn't that difficult a concept, and frankly I think is "outrage for outrage's sake"
