But is it really that difficult to start using alt attributes on applicable elements?

I think the resistance has not been about going forward, but about going back and being "required" to add ALT="place holder graphic" to thousands of 1x1 pixel graphics. Or adding an ALT tag to thousands of pictures in an online photo album.
