Flexibility doesn't come for free, though: are you arguing for having
N yank-media commands, each with its own preference of media formats?
Which means the user will have to remember the preferences for each
command and allocate a separate key binding to each?  How is that a
good thing?

I don't understand that: how is the image format of the screen capture
relevant to yanking images into an Emacs buffer?  What am I missing?
