Because you don't want the images to jump.  If they do, you won't see
some of their parts, especially if the window height is small.

??? You mean in the window, right?

> Scrolling so that an image is cut off (at the top) is not very pleasant.

Then I think you are in the minority here.  Most people want to see
the images they scroll across in their entirety, not just some parts
of them.
