StuartDH has given the reasons a few times, and they are displayed within the FAQ section. - The main reason is to prevent WAB from becoming "infected" with dead links, should any of these external site pages disappear.

If you submit your pics. in the format required by WAB, I'm certain that you won't have any problems. I've uploaded more than a hundred, and haven't had a problem yet.
OK, so you might have to resize your pic, etc. but is that really such a no-no? My "out of camera" .jpeg's are usually about 5Mp. so I always have to resize any that I'm uploading to WAB. The process takes no more than a minute for each pic. (I use Photoshop Elements). I don't consider it too much hassle considering the small numbers of pics involved at any one time.
I put a thread up recently, which gives full step by step details of how to successfully upload to WAB. Why don't you give it a try and see how things go. Surely it doesn't make sense just to give up and lose out on potential future help (both for and from other contributors).
Here's the link to the thread: -
