I don't quite understand why we do need to change the "current way of acting".

There is another factor which is not mentioned much. Many of these
images are only marked {{CopyrightbyWikimedia}} because they contain
some Wikimedia logo. For example some wikiprojects create their own
little images and headers. There are "fun" images like the Wikipedia
logo with a Santa hat.

Allowing these images is not a required thing by any licensing or even
convenience argument, but IMO they are useful for community building,
and I would see it if a pointless loss if it was decided that such
images should not be allowed to exist on Commons.
