Doesn't a web.archive.org link contain within it the URL of the original source?
It does.
However, that may not be transparent to an inexperienced user who finds that the link is dead, which is the reason for not replacing the original. Of course, even as I type this, I realise that the user who cannot recognise the URL within the link is probably too unsophisticated to find an alternative archive.
