I'd call that a bullshitty implementation then. After all, the W3C
officially recommends sRGB for all web content, so that's what browsers
should default to if an ICC profile is not embedded.

Also, a lot of images posted here are rendered with POV-Ray, which
currently does not embed an ICC profile. So to comply with your request,
each and every image would have to be post-processed before posting,
which I consider unreasonable.
