Removing potential for accessibility is almost never a good idea.

Getting that code in was difficult because it required introducing
accessibility features in the rest of the core. Removing that code means
that some time later somebody will suggest removing those accessibility
feature, thus making the work of somebody who wants to add accessibility
support even harder, while it is already crazily hard.
