The primary distinction is that when a figure has actual text that figure isn't reported as a figure to the accessibility API, so the assistive technology won't read it as a figure. When alternative text is used, it is reported as a figure so a screen reader will say "graphic" or similar to indicate the role. If you use both, it is regarded as a figure.
