So after using both sublevel and ello, I find sublevel so much better.

I think I am with @the_markness. It is easy enough to use Flickr or such services for photos and link to them.

well, but linking images could also be used for advertisement. I think a lot of people (specially mainstream users) won't ever switch to sublevel if there is no photos / photoalbum support. I know, sublevel doesn't want to be the ordinary network, but just having features for writing text won't be enough for a lot of users.

Not sure about image upload, I think that's what started twitter towards becoming an advertising behemoth.
