>No, we should not withhold accessibility features.
So if AI finds and fixes the accessibility deficiencies thats good for disabled people right? Not marginalizing.

The point is that there are unintended consequences, a real cost to people who are already struggling. The broader disability community is already noticing, rather sourly, that accessibility for "AI" is suddenly a prime concern, where they have been struggling for decades to get any attention or consideration for their own needs.
What is better for everyone is if the people building the systems start with considering accessibility beforehand instead of shipping something broken then fixing it.
