Comment:

 There's a few things you bring up here.

 Creating multiple sizes of every attachment is the current functioning
 paradigm we have in WordPress media management. There's some alternative
 ideas to how we should handle things, such as
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15311 serving new image sizes on
 the fly]. Our current paradigm works well enough, but if you have bright
 ideas, please lay them out on that ticket.

 The manner in which themes utilize (or don't utilize) the WP media library
 for managing background images is completely up to the theme developers.
 The bundled themes (e.g. [http://twentyfourteendemo.wordpress.com/ Twenty
 Fourteen]) offer great UI and community-backed practices for using the
 media APIs, serving as a model for anyone doing WordPress development to
 take a look at for inspiration.

 Closing this out as invalid, I understand your desire to make these things
 easier to work with. Feel free to reopen with more developed points.
