It's also just awful for mobile users - there's no hover *or* focus for them. This is usability, not just accessibility, but sometimes it's more convincing to pose the usability argument with an example that is easy for "normal" people to see. Then you can translate that to other areas. E.g., "remember how hard it was to see that feature on your phone? That frustration is exactly what a blind person feels every time they try to do X."

Hover is generally a bad feature for full accessibility. If you have this option list open on focus, then there is still a need to let the bind user know that an expansion of options has occurred. You also need to consider how the default action will be implemented for keyboard only users.
