People who have low vision and use magnification to make stuff on screen a lot bigger than it actually is, that too might make their experience a little harder. I would expect that amplifying the distinctions between choices might be something that benefits everybody, not just people who are using screen readers. We can take that sort of idea to a very logical conclusion. And that's that disability is not just about people like me who have a recognized disability. But if you tot all of those people up, that's pretty much most of us.
