Comment (by seedsca):

 I think these attachment pages could be quite useful for many uses.
 Considering this is a CMS, and SEO is not the only concern. This takes
 away a useful function that regular users would not know about, unless
 they are nerds like us :)

 I know I misspelled myopic earlier, but my point stands. We only see what
 we see. We are talking about samples, even worse, samples from what we
 care to look at.

 I've seen small, indie, sites use this feature well. Same with personal
 sites. Multisite, and universities come to mind as well... We seem to only
 be talking about SEO and big sites here. We are much more than that.

 If we want to conserve crawl budgets and energy, why not remove these
 pages from the sitemaps by default? Then have a hook to add them, if
 wanted...
