For the example I created, I doesn't make much sense. However, there is lots of fancy stuff you can do efficiently with data-uris. The book I bought used data-uris to make fancy/themed <hr>s that didn't require much data at all.
Besides, I think there a a lot of users who do download web pages (that potentially have images encoded this way) and make them into ebooks (fanficfare, news recipes, read-it-later type websites, etc.). I am one of them.
