I'm not sure what the point of your post is, Samor, but if you're saying that a subcode-inclusive format is therefore not necessary, I've already addressed that issue:

Even when I was using ePSXe, I used to find that .img images (ePSXe doesn't read descriptor files or subcode directly) worked better than .bin ones.
I'm not sure just why this is: whether it's because the applications that you have to use to rip to those formats are designed for ripping games CDs, which are often non-standard in various ways, and hence may not rip perfectly with other applications, or whether it's because those formats have other inherent qualities that make them work better - ?
