The current ox-md's behaviour has been introduced in 87b48e5a2824:

    ox-md: Fix image transcoding
    
    * lisp/ox-md.el (org-md-link): Do not confuse caption and alt-text.
      Provide "img" as default alt-text.

     ...
     ... format "![img](%s)" ...

However, looking at
https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax#adding-titles

    You can optionally add a title for a link. This will appear as a
    tooltip when the user hovers over the link. To add a title, enclose
    it in quotation marks after the URL.

So, img is not really alt text, but the opposite.
The commit appears to be inaccurate.

I am inclined to change ![img](url "caption") to
![caption](url) for links without description (links with description do
not obey caption in org export).

Any objections?
