Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Based on the discussion in #55535 I don't know if this is planned, I'm
 curious what @joedolson thinks. If this isn't planned, we can go ahead and
 close these tickets.

 In the meantime, I created a mini plugin based on the code provided in
 #55535 by @pbiron. This plugin will extract the alt meta data and insert
 it automatically into the Alt field in the media library.

 Plugin:
