I think that it is the same as accessibility in other context, to
generate PDF that people can use even without being able to see, for
example.

I think that it is a worthy objective in itself, as long as it
integrates well with texi2any/Texinfo.  Both for alt for images and for
the pdftitle (which I interpret as something like settitle), this
fits well and seems relevant.

That's because the LaTeX project people generate LaTeX from Texinfo for
the asymptote manual, which is in Texinfo and try to have the PDF
obtained from this LaTeX be accessible according to some checker.
I think that it is interesting feedback, because the people in the
tracker can read and understand the LaTeX code generated by texi2any,
figure out why the PDF generated from it is not accessible according to
the tool they use and give feedback on what should be fixed, texi2any
LaTeX output, or LaTex, for instance.

Charles forwarded the discussion here with the purprose of having
texi2any changed, which looks good to me.
