That's the biggest problem with a lot of current accessibility thinking.

WAY to many people assume that accessibility issues mean 'accomodating
blind people' and fail to see the bigger picture.

My personal definition of web accessibility is:

Striving to make more of your content usable for more people (ie,
customers) on more devices.
