So your basically saying screw them all since it's impossible to include everyone? I just outlined for you the most common disability, it's particularly easy to avoid since they can still actually see.

...how would you like to be told to learn brail in old age just cos your eyesight isn't quite good enough to read some small print?

This also helps everyone and functions in very low light since we all have low sensitivity to colour compared to luminescence, more so the older you get
