Pretty pathetic as it breaks the site for people with less than perfect vision. I mean they obviously take advantage of machine readable data to populate their database, pretty lame to not spit it back out. Not to mention a huge server overhead--this was a calculated decision.

Recent versions of at least Safari and Firefox have full content zooming, so it zooms images along with the text.
Screen readers will read the text in the "alt" attribute of the image, which matches what the image says usually.
Don't most screen readers read out the alt text of an image? (Yes, the hint here is to check the alt text of the image).
There are tons of people who simply increase the text size in their browser. Can't do that with WA. They aren't blind, just older.
Most modern browsers can also increase the size of the image with the text.
