Easy image posting was Tumblr's killer app, it was what made the site. And you're right about how one comes to expect that. I found I couldn't do it on Discord and was surprised (there was an option for gifs and emoticons, but not images from my desktop).

Ooh kitty pics! Always worth seeing 😺

I know that another thing that got me using PF was the fact that while it didn't use HTML, I didn't have to recode a post to share it there either. If every site has its own markup options (or doesn't have any) this is a headache which means one will reduce cross posting. However I quickly discovered that I could simply copy the finished post from here and paste it there and it would be an exact duplicate with markup and links intact. The fact that you can't do that in reverse at DW however has surely got to be a major roadblock for someone whose main accounts are somewhere else. While I often found this irritating at PF (all the people image posting their Tumblr or Twitter posts even though you could just do link embed, or you could just copy the text itself), the fact that people want to do this means DW is going to be used less.
