No, their screen readers don't need the "ALT" button to work, that's all passed over tags in the HTML
It's there for no reason!

that's negatively impacted 99% of users experiences for an extremely tenuous hypothesis about how it might for some small share of them improve their utilization of a feature aimed at 1% of users
any PM making this trade off should be crucified
sorry I feel strongly about the button. I will try to relax.
