I think most of that argument is made irrelevant with the addition of direct uploading to the site for all members.
And even then, as far as making things easier goes, I'd imagine direct attachments will always be easier than separate uploads to third-party sites for 99% of members. I'm not sure how the software worked back then but you can definitely open image attachments right in the browser and the system only accepts certain file types to begin with so malicious files aren't really a concern.
Regardless though, they're enabled for everyone now so people can choose how they want to deal with images from here on out.
