When people make an ePub they go through the process of reviewing it and when they finish working on it, most of the time more than one people review that work so the chances an image will not load are slim to none, so in an ePub case, alt is mostly for screen readers and not in a case where an image is not loaded because someone erased it from the server.

Thats completly wrong. As you quotet, it should be a alternative text. Not a descriptive Text. Just read book loud and you will notice that a decsroipzve text is nonsens.
I dont udnerstand why you interpret "alterantive" as decriptive.
Sorry this is boaring discussing things with somepne having no glue and interpreting things in the way you do.
Choose a decriptive text, i dont care. Not worth reading and writing here more.
