Maybe people just want to have some fun? Send a secret picture only to their friends? Or maybe they want to send an image while hiding it from a government censor? I'm sure you can come up with more examples if you use your imagination.

Besides complaining about the potential use for child pornography is bizarre. If someone wanted to secretly send child porn to someone else, they could just encrypt it. It would be far more effective than this image packing method.

You're making a case against steganography?

No and I'm a bit unclear how you inferred that. I am, however, making the claim that embedded images similar to the blog post are much easier to discover than it is to break encryption. Does that clarify things for you?
