I was referring to release VMs used by people at large, not the test
builds used by vm developers.

Image and VM have different build and patch cycles. VM binary is
typically smaller than the Image.
But by putting them together, people will be forced to download both at
the same time, even though their own Image may have been updated
regularly and contain their personal preferences and changes.
Fat downloads increase download time and the wear and tear on flash drives.

Yes.
