Besides hindering Web accessibility, the overlays themselves cannot be accessed by screen readers, at least in my experience. My wife uses VoiceOver on iOS and wanted to buy something on a site that sells made-in-America goods. She was told to tap the overlay button to get its assistance, but could never find anything to tap. Obviously, she never spent her money on that site.
