Comment (by joedolson):

 I am also unable to reproduce this. One thing I'm unclear on is exactly
 *where* @rahultank is seeing the REST request. Taking the reproduction
 steps literally, it sounds like you're looking for a request to
 `wp/v2/media` in the post editor; which it shouldn't be making once the
 media is inserted. Inserted media is just part of the post content, and
 doesn't re-request itself.

 If it's an inspection of the endpoint, like what @rishabhwp shows in the
 video, then I'm also not seeing any issues - the alt text appears as
 expected.

 Are you testing this in a clean environment, @rahultank, with no plugins
 and a default theme? Is there something we're missing in your reproduction
 steps?
