Yeah, I do not agree. You do not need an accommodation for the accommodation. Audio Descriptions are there for people who cannot see what is happening on screen. If you have vision, you can see what is going on and therefore audio descriptions are not required. In fact, WCAG 1.2.2 talks about this exception.
