Another thing, given that most people have broadband, I do think the image size limit is a bit on the small side.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the image size limit is less about file size and more about the actual size of the image. If an image is too large, it distorts the size of all posts after it and forces horizontal scrolling, which is extremely annoying.
I have seen some forums that will automatically resize images that are too large, but I'm not sure how hard that is to implement.
Given that it's much easier to just attach the image than it is to find a place to host it and then insert the link to it, I'm not sure why people continue do that instead of just attaching it.
