Well, that's two different questions.

1. To answer the first, it's because there is a major BUG in the
handling of embedded artwork. Which, apparently, nobody is any closer
to figuring out.

2. As to the second question, I've asked the same thing myself. The
plan for artwork is that embedded artwork could be used for individual
track art (for the five or six people on the planet who care about such
things), while cover/folder.jpg files would always be used for album
artwork.

This is the bug report that is a catch all for the rework of artwork
handling planned sometime in the future. See my comment #26.
