>Kudos to the author for a meaningful screenshot right at the start.

I was thinking about this recently that so many projects on Github missing screenshots. I was thinking to make PRs to at least show some basic functionality.

That's because adding a screenshot is surprisingly hard if you've never discovered that you can create an issue, paste an image into it, and then copy the URL that gives you into your readme without ever actually submitting the issue.

Can't you just put the image as a file inside your repo and reference it from the README.md file ?

Not if your readme also has to work on "not Github" like npm or pypi, or anything that repackages your release while using your readme.md as page content. Those images are going to have to be fully qualified URLs.
