the problem is, that the page reduces them to "large" (whats coming close to 800x600 - depending on the aspect ratio of the picture) - the "huge" option isn't available. i add those links in Answers as a simple link: [http://ifixit-meta-guide-images.s3.amazonaws.com/igi/PUN2Zx6NL1AXeeqY.huge|CLICK for a HUGE picture]

the problem could sometimes be simple, not everyone has a 32" monitor - many people are still surfing the web with their G3 iBooks or something older than 5 years - the screen resolution is sometimes still around 1024x768 (or 800x600) - if they click on a picture thats 1600x1200 - that would be on a clamshell 4 times the screen resolution - if you go on higher resolutions like 2560 x 1600 that would even make "problems" on many actual notebooks/MacBooks (it would be then 4 times the screen resolution of 1280x800).
larger images are ok, but only when there is a standard size like 800x600 and a option for the full size. the cropping is to correct the aspect ratio
about the html "problem":
== WHY should ifixit want that ? ==
this page uses css - so everything should look the same or within the standard design rules of the website - own html makes no sense on those pages.
800x600 ??
