I wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm glad they at least gave it a shot, though! But I wish more people were willing to hear suggestions on how they could be better, more accurate, more helpful to the people it's intended to help, etc, rather than just insisting they're correct (when they're objectively not.) I see that behavior a lot with things like image transcription/description and content warnings and I just don't understand it.
I'm really confused about this case because based on the now-deleted comment, they did listen to the feedback and improve it, but then they seem to have changed their mind and gone back on their improvement. Admittedly, adding the new bit in brackets is an improvement over the original, but I think it's a step down from if it had been an actual description of what's visible in the image.
I changed it because very few people care about them right now, so when I got feedback I just changed it. I still think the the way it is right now makes more sense. Potentially I'm wrong, but I haven't yet seen a convincing argument.
