Not a strong one. My almost only usage of object is when I want to
include and svg file with a proper fallback. Ie:

<object data="file.svg" type="....>
<img src="fallback.png" ..../>
</object>

I may want to 'annotate' the included svg file exactly the same way as I
do for images and may also want to add some things like

<file.svg> role:fallback <fallback.png>.

which would become a bit convoluted without that rule. I agree this is
not a very compelling use case, so I will not have sleepness nights if
this does not get included....
