 WordPress should auto insert alt text as it does for title text at the
 time of the image upload.

 Because of alt text is essential both for accessibility and SEO purposes,
 I think it should be provided by default as many people forget to write it
 or ignore it as they don't know its importance.

 Later they get to add them manually only after an SEO audit tool report or
 when they manually check each image themself.

 If not auto, insert, at least there should be a prompt for entering alt-
 text every time a user add image/images to the media library.

 It will merely act as a reminder and eventually improve accessibility, UX,
 and SEO.
