Comment:

 Welcome to WordPress Trac, @pgideonbolger, and thanks for the suggestion!

 This has been brought up before in #25249 but closed due to lack of
 interest. The main problem with separating images into a separate
 directory for the purpose of only needing to retain an "original" image
 size is how to subsequently regenerate the resized images after the fact.
 WordPress doesn't have a mechanism for this currently, although there is a
 WP-CLI command and several plugins available which provide this
 functionality.

 Take a look at the tickets linked in the comments on #25249 and maybe you
 can provide some feedback there.
