Comment (by joedolson):

 The logic, to me, is that images are the only file type that has managed
 variants, and it makes sense to use the same function to fetch variants of
 a file as you would use to fetch the attachment. The function is to get a
 file, not to get an attachment, so it makes sense that you could use it to
 fetch any file managed in the media library.

 I could imagine it being extended to fetch alternate versions of
 audio/video files, too (e.g., different formats or different resolutions),
 though that isn't currently something managed by the library.
