What I do know is that due to lack of broad, consistent support for other ways of representing them (with MathML support etc having historically been very poor), authors have been forced to *use* images to represent them. So this gripe is less about "authors need to stop seeing formulae as images that have inherent 2-Dimensional meaning", but rather "authors should start to use other technologies, like MathML, SVG, etc, and make sure that they adapt to the available space".
