Are there any situations where uploads are useful outside of a post context? As I understand it, uploads are automatically removed periodically if they are not associated with posts so making it possible to scope an API key for uploading and not creating/modifying posts doesn’t obviously seem useful.

As @pfaffman mentioned, it would seem to make more sense if the topics:write and posts:edit scopes grant access to upload if the associated user has permission to upload.
