Do not generate default alt text in image tags
- Auto-generating content from the filename of an image is not suitable alternative text; alt text that isn't fully considered can be distracting and fatiguing for screen readers users (blind, low vision, dyslexic people). - Setting a filename fallback short circuits screen reader default behavior and configuration for blank descriptions. - Setting poor defaults also creates false negatives for accessibility linting and testing software, that makes it harder to improve application accessibility. *** - After this change, if authors leave images without alt text, screen readers will fallback to default behavior for missing alt text. - Also with this change, Automated linting and testing tools will correctly generate warnings. [Fixes #30096]
