Most of the times I see this used, it just changes one set of
inaccessibility for another.
As a screen reader user I really don't want people changing their
output, making it less, etc, without my involvement in the process. I'd
much more like to have the output start accessible for everyone and
provide more customization features that may be better for me than
another user.
