Storing Media assets on the chain itself would be incredibly expensive. It’s why 99% of app NFTs is just a receipt pointing to a url.

IPFS is decentralized storage and is a big part of what web3 is. Many NFTs use IPFS urls and many dapps are hosted on it. Browsers can resolve them today via centralized gateways like ipfs.io and some browsers (like Brave) support IPFS natively.
