the only time we could ask the user to add a description would be by scanning their post for code indicating that an image was included at the time they posted it, then take them to a separate page (or pop up a box) asking them to include a description. They would have to be presented with this page/box for every image included in the post.

It could be optional but you’d still have all the same problems of people entering incorrect or problematic descriptions. Plus if it’s optional, the number of people describing every image they post is going to be low. So it’s a lot of work for something that wouldn’t be very useful, and as mentioned there are already third party tools in the pipeline for people who need them, which are going to be better than any solution we can come up with…
