Borders were removed from thumbs because complete lack of a border on images is
not the most common instance of photo/video use. Instead, multiple box borders
around images and lack of sufficient padding increases visual complexity of our
reading experience. Removing excess square border on site elements is a trend
you can see starting all the way back to the original Vector redesign, which
significantly softened Monobook's hard edges and lack of whitespace.
Simplifying our image styles for the most common use case is a change that is
going to dramatically increase readability and bring the style in line with
what we have on mobile devices and tablets now. 

I'm going to try and make sure we allocate developer resources for Erik's
proposal in Comment #15, so that editors have the option to manually add a
border to thumbs where needed. In the meantime, increasing the whitespace
around images will help even for images like flags that lack an in-image
border.
