Comment(by janeforshort):

 As scribu pointed out, the reason is because media files may be used by
 other posts as well, which is why they must be deleted in the media
 library. If we changed it so that deleting a file from a post deleted it
 altogether from the system, it would break the existing behavior and cause
 a lot of unintentional deletions. Agree with wontfix.
