The typographical distinction between a minus, minus-hyphen, hyphen, and en-dash can still be helpful to screen reader software: https://www.csun.edu/it/news/accessibility-tip-dashes-and-hy..., https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/grammar-punctuation-and-conve...
Some screen readers are better at parsing this than others, but if there's a typographical option that's more specific, it's typically appreciated.
On the other side of it, the suggestion in the article to use dashes for numeric ranges isn't ideal for parsing.
