Sorry for the double--I guess to communicate the value of accessibility to someone like that, you'd want to focus on marketshare ($$ from older populations, disabled veterans, independent living), management and maintenance costs (scalability, cross-platform usability), and robustness and elegance (your code won't get you laughed out of the next developers' cocktail party). Money and pride speak to some people in a way that altruism and integrity do not.
