Comment (by ryelle):

 The images are considered decorative - they're just accents for the
 content around them. That's how we've done it historically, and the
 accessibility team reviews the About page each release. On the other hand,
 this could be considered contextual info that sighted users get, so maybe
 we should describe it.

 It's tricky because I don't think "Screenshot of Twenty Twenty-One" is
 good alt text, but how much of the layout do you describe? If there's some
 concise descriptive text that would work here, you could open a new
 ticket.
