Using Be My Eyes is an accommodation, not accessibility.

Dear List Members,
What may be the reasoning for websites using icons rather than links as part of their registration process?
The financial information form, seems to use icons and or mouse
clicks rather than links or even buttons.
Is there away around this for those dependent on the keyboard and general screen reader?
Two particular websites noted are Draft2Digital.com and B&NPress.com.
Would utilizing a service such as Be My Eyes be recommended in the short-term?

Thank you for your input in advance.
