Do you know why that caption is there ?

It's for a blind person!!!!!!!

Blind people use web browsers too. They use a screen reader.
If there is text on the web page, they can partake of whatever
is being discussed.

When I would post a picture, I was kindly asked if I might caption
the item, so it could be avoided entirely if the content was
just an image and no other information a blind person could
use was present.

THAT is why the caption is there.
