Your points about accessibility are fair, and I agree that readability and contrast matter a lot.

That said, I had a different experience. I found the site readable and fairly easy to navigate once I understood the underlying structure of the data. The content is dense, but that seems inherent to the subject matter rather than purely a design issue. For me, it strikes a reasonable balance between overly sparse, scroll-heavy modern layouts and extremely compressed ones.

That doesn't mean improvements couldn't be made, especially around contrast, but I don't think the current design is unusable. It may simply work better for some reading styles than others.
