I'm curious why you think that forcing people to write alt="" is going to improve accessibility?

  Because that’s how screen readers know the image is decorative. It literally is/improves accessibility.

    Additionally, the developer is more likely to actually write alt text when it's not decorative.

      Although I must admit, I've also seen such rules leading to developers writing alt text for decorative images, and I'm not sure if that's much better.
