Comment (by joedolson):

 @carolinescribely Do you know of any image sources who are actively using
 this field? For example, stock imagery providers, photography studios,
 etc. - a place where we could look at a wide variety of images to examine.

 The accessibility team's preferred approach to this is to add a media data
 panel that can expose this and other important metadata without
 automatically assigning it to fields that will be output on the front end,
 so that the user can choose to use this information, but it isn't
 automatic.
