Comment (by mrwweb):

 I feel like I'm screaming at an empty room here. I'm sorry if this is
 unkosher to keep pushing this...

 I have yet to see a compelling reason for why "'Add Media' doesn't make
 sense for some post formats" if there are multiple plausible reasons to
 place media in ALL post formats (see #comment:18). I don't think it
 undermines certain formats and it seems crazy to officially endorse a
 workaround of using standard and then changing the format later (which
 surely many will forget to do).

 And in addition, I still really think jb510 has a point in #comment:25:
 > As far as I'm concerned that Add Media button is intrinsically tied to
 the visual editor and ought to apear anywhere and everywhere the visual
 editor appears.

 What does it take to get this reconsidered? This feels like a big mistake
 that could rile up casual users and completely distract from the many
 great reasons to use post formats. I don't see how the small "benefits" of
 hiding the button outweigh that risk.
