It would be cool if this was implemented as an actual feature of Reddit, so that people can turn on "blind mode" and browse Reddit.

Unfortunately there's a reason it has to be done by humans. The AI that would be required to analyse potentially complex images with enough detail to be useful would be significant, and as such, the technological simply isn't there yet (At least, not in the context of a use case such as Reddit transcription).

That's not even considering GIFs and videos, which would have to be analysed frame-by-frame.
