The point is to protect your data, like your IP (which GDPR classes as personal data), which as far as I know is required for stuff like GDPR. It's a bit of a minefield but regardless, it seemed like a good idea to implement. Some media hosts might set cookies, store your IP etc so it just seems like a good sane idea to initially hide external media in posts from users and let people decide if they wish to see it.
Example using the box itself to show how it looks, hilarious:
