This is not decided by Emacs. If both Alt and Meta are available, Emacs
does distinguish between them. It's only if Meta is not available that
Emacs treats Alt as Meta.
Given that some apps use Meta (e.g. Emacs) while others use Alt but
a vanishingly small number use both, I prefer to configure xmodmap so as to
only have one of the two, in order to remove this gratuitous distinction.
