I think this is almost sitewide "quirks". Is this actually done by design that each image hyperlinked into its latest revision actual file and rely on script to bring modal and in turn to direct user into file description page?

For starters, you can check that chart above as example. On images generated with wikitext, the hyperlink points directly into the file. With IP code, it also hyperlinks directly into the file. Images generated by tags in other hand points into file description page.

On videos generated with wikitext, the thumbnail hyperlinked into file description page. With IP code, it hyperlinks directly into the file. As just mentioned above.

On mobile devices (at least according to the preview), wikitext links any file into its file description page. With IP code, it seems that there's no link at all, just a magnified version popup (even with video).

Dunno with another filetype or another means of displaying them. If this is by design, then IMO it's horribly bad design decision. Relying too much on script to actually work.
