Reading the linked threads, it seems that <object> has its own
downsides. Why is it strictly better then?

To be clear, I am in favor of adding "embedding" switch for ox-html in
general. It is a feature several people requested elsewhere - for all images.
#+INCLUDE is cumbersome, does not work with captions, and will generally
break Org customization relying on Org knowing what kind of object is
being exported.
