Then the problem was solved 30 years ago, and you can continue to use it indefinitely.

No one will force a blind person to use a computer that converses in natural english. But even sighted people are likely to move away from dense visually heavy UIs towards natural conversational interface with digital systems. I suspect that given that comes to fruition (unlike us nerds, regular folks hate visual info dense clutter), young blind people won't even perceive much impediment in that area of life.

This isn't far off from CLI vs GUI debate, where CLIs are way faster and more efficient, but regular people overwhelmingly despise them and use GUIs. Ease over efficiency is the goal for them.
