Eh, it’s possible to configure an instance to not pull down images but just link to the source. I speak from personal experience here.
Also, the commenter is wrong about deletion - I’ve seen my own instance deleting images because a request to do so got federated in. (Again, speaking from personal experience.)

Every instance that federates now has to host that. If everyone was this inconsiderate of server space the federverse couldn’t exist.
