And why in the world would there be an option to /not/ embed the sRGB profile?

The only reason I can think of is to reduce the size of the file. I'm not sure exactly how big a color profile is when embedded in a photo.

Yes, file size is generally the reason.

The profile adds a few k. Not a big deal for a 200k image, but very significant if it's a small graphic: If it's under 1k then the ICC profile could quadruple the size! For a web site that gets millions of hits a day, this can cost real money.
