That isn't the case. It was claimed multiple times that reading 
Wikipedia in front of bystanders can be a problem, since unwillingly 
some "disturbing" image might show up. If that is the case, then you can 
hide the images by default and enable them while you read. There were 
also thoughts to not hide the images entirely, but to blur them. So you 
will have glimpse on what it is about and could view it (remove the 
bluring) by just hovering it.

This would satisfy many typical needs and it isn't a thought to make the 
proposed feature useless. It is the result if you try to react to this 
problem without the need for categories and that wikipedians would need 
to play the censor for others.
