Constant violation of a policy is not a good reason to remove it.

I disagree with the assumption that everyone has fast internet connection. When I load an image-heavy page on my iPad, it does take longer than image-less pages.

One of the basic tenets of the wiki is that we want everyone who is interested to be able to edit/use this wiki (that's why our spoiler policy is so strict). This means we keep image size down in order to allow users with slower internet connection to enjoy the wiki.
