The encouragement is not so much from "Instagram the app" -- into which you can toss whatever you darned well please -- but "Instagram the marketing vehicle and popularity contest".
It is touted by enthusiasts as a way to get your work noticed (and so make yourself more marketable), but to do that you find you have to create work that is popular on IG, and that leads to a silly circular feedback loop with everyone producing the same muck. If you just want to share your work conveniently with a few friends and family, it works just fine for that.
