I do think this is A Good Thing. If we have a page with a dozen photos directly off the camera that's easily 20 MB of images, and it will load quite slowly on many people's devices. I downsize my photos either on the phone (lots of apps for that) or on the PC, it really doesn't take much time.
I agree that would be bad, but automatic thumbnailing with click-for-full-res is a well solved problem. Unfortunately I think the general death of forums like this, in favour of large sites like Reddit, means that forum software isn't well developed anymore. Being written in PHP I'm sure doesn't help the situation. If MyBB was a more modern open source project I'd add the features myself and create a pull request.
