> I know text-only does not mean accessible and I think tools like this give our web teams the erroneous feeling that content is accessible when it is not. I also hate the lack of equity with separate-but-equal approaches.

Personally I find text only pages often less accessible because visual clues such as color, borders, spacing, images, font sizes, etc. are removed and just the text is left behind in a way that is sometimes more difficult to read and focus on for some people with low vision.
