Yes, you should be fighting these battles.

Whatever WCAG says, the point is that they make things disappear by being
illegible.

Some stuff is just common sense, and doesn't need a WCAG checkpoint, like
"don't hide everything by making it too small to see". Hmmm. Which
demonstrates why WCAG should be updated not to rely on common sense :(

cheers
