"Figure out the correct proportion"? VE doesn't let you change the proportions anyway (if you change one property, the other is automatically changed as well), so that is a useless "benefit". So the only time it could be useful would be for small images. Seems like another case where the use it could have in some cases is given more weight than the disadvantage it will have in most cases. Bad habits die hard, I suppose.

By the way, the Gerrit message you link to also claims "Maximum size is limited to the image's original maximum size.". As could be expected, no it isn't:. What is probably meant is that the "initial" size on insertion is no more than the full size of the image, but the maximum size is unlimited. Really, it is!
