Images don’t help you rank... (not so sure this answer is entirely thought out)

John Mueller suggests images aren’t important to web search. Using the example of a grey box, John said, “within web search we don't really care if it's a gray square or if it's a picture of a beach.” He goes on to say Google does care in image search what the content of an image is but in web search, adding more images won’t help you rank. 

That may be well and true but there are a number of attributes and basic properties to and about images that Google does need to care about. How big is it? How is it loading? When is it loading? Does its existence add to or take away from page usability? Is there alt text describing the image? These are important items that speak to more than the mere content of an image.
