As to the request here, this would have the (severe) drawback that the
LyX file is no longer a plain text file.
I really don't know much about this, but couldn't we use some sort of ASCII
encoding like base64 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64). I think that's
what some mail programs do (e.g., mutt) to add attachments. Perhaps there is a
disadvantage that the file size is (much) bigger than using a non-ASCII
encoding?

Personally, I'd prefer to keep LyX files small and plain text. Also,
wouldn't embedding graphics introduce extra work if the source graphic
was changed? For instance, if I embedded a plot, then later changed data
an reran the plot, I would need to manually update the LyX file.
The LyX Archive export seems to be a good solution for sharing (or
archiving) documents.
