Because not everybody has a high-speed internet connection:  When going
through groups and having to download megabytes of useless images, it is very
annoying and takes very long to read because one obviously has to wait for the
download.  So keeping some order is actually friendly and involves less
waiting for everybody.

For practical purposed you should always say in which binary group you put the
image and in the image description you simply say which thread in which group
you are referring to.  This is sufficient for someone interested to find both,
and for those not interested in the image to not have to download it.

BTW, for a summary of all rules lots of other useful information, you may want
to read povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions in case you haven't yet.
