And yes, we probably should support braille devices (that's just another piece of hw). And we could support hw speech synthetizers, too, if those are simple drivers. But I do believe that sw speech synthesis is more important than obscure hw synthetizers; it is available on way more machines, and there's no reason why hw synthetizers should be superior.
