Comment (by Ipstenu):

 I love/hate this idea.

 This would probably cause an uptick in people coding ways to break iframes
 (X-FRAME-OPTIONS or JS at this point).

 The difference here between YouTube and Instagram and Tumblr is they all
 agreed to let other people embed their content. That's why they have the
 API endpoint. Each individual user of WordPress did not. It's a consent
 issue. Just as you can set your YouTube videos to be embeddable, it's a
 check box on each post (or on your channel, I forget which).

 FWIW, there's also the concern of monetization. I don't know what happens
 when my ads show up on your site. I'd hate to find out I broke Google's
 AdSense rules just because someone else embedded me on their porn site.
