What is being advocated here for is to duplicate the `alt=` and `title=` elements on the `<img>` tag but I remember reading that this is not recommended a bunch of places. For example

> **[HTML Standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html)**

> Relying on the title attribute is currently discouraged as many user agents do not expose the attribute in an accessible manner as required by this specification (e.g. requiring a pointing device such as a mouse to cause a tooltip to appear, which excludes keyboard-only users and touch-only users, such as anyone with a modern phone or tablet).

`alt` is the important attribute, `title` is kinda.. honestly irrelevant in today’s mostly-smartphone world?
