The media embed CKEditor widget doesn't provide an easy way to let authors embed an decorative image (with alt=""). It lets you specify your own instance-specific override, or accept the default alt text from the media entity.
This is a reasonable use-case. In particular, it will be good to support the "Image with adjacent text alternative" pattern from the WAI (Web Accessibilty Initiative) image tutorials.
It's possible to get alt="" by inserting a literal pair of quotes in the alt text input, but this isn't mentioned in the UI.
It's also possible to use CKEditor "show source" to manually edit the <drupal-media> tag, but that's (a) fiddly, and (b) fragile because later use of the UI dialog will over-write this.
These editorial tasks are all basically of equal importance, but the last one is difficult:
