I have no opinion on that.  In my experience, arguing about defaults
is a waste of time.  Please note, however, that Emacs can display
images in any mode, so I wouldn't know how to identify the "modes that
use images".

One way to do it would be for modes to identify themselves, by setting auto-window-vscroll to t.

A perhaps better approach might be to make auto-window-vscroll only act on lines significantly larger than default height (x4?), and not on any line with a non-standard height.
