Comment (by afercia):

 @emaildano if I remember correctly, the dotted line was only meant to
 indicate an image "placeholder". There are no plans to introduce a drag
 and drop UI, as I'm aware of. The design team could know more.

 Worth noting a while ago the media widgets and the Customier had both this
 placeholder (which was clickable) and an additional "Add Image" button.
 The placeholder was just a clickable `<div>` element, thus not operable
 with a keyboard. Also, there were 2 controls that did the same thing. That
 was fixed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/44796 /
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43151 by making the "placeholder" a
 real button.

 Gutenberg followed this new, more accessible, pattern.
