That's mostly a limitation of Org syntax (current Org syntax; I hope
that will change in future).
We currently work around this fact by re-using affiliated keywords from
the parent element as attributes for image (see how ATTR is computed in
`org-latex--inline-image'). But there is no way we can have, for
example, a reference to such image or put a caption - we risk ambiguity
about caption/reference being assigned to the containing
paragraph/table/etc or even other inline images inside.
Maybe ox-latex can allow inlined floats. But I have a hard time
understanding how an image can be both float and also a part of the
containing paragraph/table/minipage/etc.

I actually do no oppose more sophisticated behavior.
But we at least need to fix the reproducer not compiling at all.
Anything else is a nice-to-have extra.
For your suggestion about separating tables and figures, I am not
sure. I see images inside tables as a legitimate use-case.
