Yeah, having now thought about it for more than
like three seconds, it would either lead to certain
chunks of the community writing content under the
assumption that your client will in-line images, and
their content not being readable in mainstream clients,
or if clients that do this themselves become
mainstream, then everyone will start writing content
assuming that, and suddenly simple clients are locked
out from interacting with most content.

text/gemini is intentionally text-y and pretty
opinionated about that, and in-lining images runs
counter to the prevailing gopheresque idiom it's
is trying to capture.
