Some people may link a photo so it will show up larger than a thumbnail. For example if I upload it with "Insert Image, From Computer" I see a thumbnail which is often perfect but requires a click to view larger:

But occasionally a larger in-line image is useful. If I insert the same photo using a link I get this:

Of course it is possible to do as I just did here, link to a photo previously uploaded to SMC, but it takes an extra step. And to be kind to the reader it may need to be sized reasonably before uploading which takes another extra step.
(Yikes, this makes me want to escape from my pressing lesson prep desk project and go down to the shop for a couple of hours!)
