Comment(by mark-k):

 I don't know about what other people do, but for me it is required in
 every project which need some images to be associated with a post and not
 in the form of gallery. It results in copying almost the same code which
 was suggested here from project to project, which I consider to be a
 needless waste of time.

 And not always the image has to be associated with a post. In one project
 I provided the ability to control an header image of a category page.

 I don't know about lazy plugin authors, but if they are doing something
 more complicated then adding the JS lines, at some day they will probably
 wise up and use it.

 I do know about performance. I know that I am using the lowest broadband I
 can get and it is 96k upstream. The minimal VPS I am using for my personal
 blog and a small WPMU installation and a small RSS aggregator is far from
 reaching its bandwidth limits. I find it hard to believe that even if
 there will be an extra 1k wasted for each form, and since this is the
 admin interface we are talking about, it will have any measurable real
 life implication.
 On the contrary, adding JS for every admin page load, even when you are
 just inspecting the data, can prove to be more wasteful.
