Why, do the people with the screen reader have some specific need to read the title of this article? As if it's some important resource or something?

It's just one irrelevant thing they can't read, same as millions of articles written in different languages...

Because the title tells you what the whole page is about. You can know when to continue or not sometimes with just the title.

Unforuntatly screen readers will read it out as

"which implements the alpha-see-tau-micro-alpha-lly P-delta-alpha-R-tau-A-B-L-epsilon..." etc.

Contrasted with a foreign language document which we would expect to be either read out in the foreign language, or mechnically translated and then read it.

Users with or without screen readers could reasonably expect to read plain text.
