Not sure why Ghost doesn’t have a media library. It’s in Ghost’s best interest as far as storage space goes.
If you want to re-use media, you have to keep re-uploading a new version of it each time.
I know you can create a post or page and upload media there and try to re-use it by grabbing the file link, but this is a pretty silly thing to have to do. I don’t recall using any other CMS that doesn’t have a media library.
What are the reasons against it?
I remember them talking about the fact that an image doesn’t take much space, so a media library it’s somewhat “unnecessary”. I don’t agree with this statement, and it’s quite annoying having to use 3rd party software to remove the unused images and so on.
Perhaps they could help give more visualization and votes to this prototype file and media manager.

Best regards.
That’s very cool and ghost style. Wordpress file manager is terrible.
