Why is it only possible to attach graphic files to posts?

I’m trying to attach a file to as post (PDF), but I’m only allowed to attach .jpg, .png etc.
I’ve found nothing in the documentation about this.
Is it a conscious choice of the admins?

Hi,

For security reasons only image file uploads are allowed.

For terminal or script output, you could use a pastebin service.

For PDFs, there are plenty of free file-sharing sites which allow shared links.

Thanks
