Which part of the above would "defeat the point of yank-media", and
why?

If Org has its own ideas about what's best for the users in some
situations, and if the users agree with that, I don't see what is
wrong with that. The common interface presented by yank-media to
major modes is there so that major modes could use it in whichever
ways they think is best for their users. So I see no problems in
major modes deciding to prefer some handlers over others, not in
principle.
