The bottom line is that requiring the presence of the alt attribute

IMO, this leaves the people who don't see the images worse off compared
to a scenario where an empty alt text signified a purely decorative
image and a missing alt attribute signified that the author did not
bother to provide a textual alternative.
Thanks, you expressed what I was trying to say much better than I did.
