Care to explain your post title? What makes it an accessibility tool?

because macOS is going down the toilet and actually breaking shit left and right for the blind.

because macOS is getting broken.

I don't understand why you'd buy Apple hardware if you don't want macOS. They're horrible to repair, annoying to install Linux on (and maybe Windows too), and you'll be fighting an uphill battle with patching software to run on the newer chips because the userbase is so small.

I regret it, ok?

I actually had a coworker buy Apple devices specifically to put Linux on them, which never made sense to me. He kept having issues with it... surprised Pikachu.

Obviously use what you've got though. :)
