I support abstracting file details because it makes using LyX easier, but at the same time I would not like to give up control over the modular aspects, such as the custom converters, which I think is a big strength in LyX design. For example, being able to update all my article's figures generated from an R script and not have to change anything in the LyX file is a huge convenience!
I guess you can decide when you add a new graphics if LyX has to "ingest" it or leave it where it is, just an option for that graphics.
