Accessibility is a great thing to have and strive for, but it cannot be the number one design principle. Imagine if everything around us would be designed for blind people. | ||||||||

I suspect blind people imagine that a lot. The idea is to design for all (or as many as feasible), it's not a binary either/or. | ||||||||

Not necessarily designed for, but accessible to. Additionally in sysadmin, blind-users are not just some random group, the ability not to use one's eyes is central to the Command Line Interface. You could always in theory get by with just a keyboard and a TTS that reads out the output, it's all based on the STDIO abstractions that are just string streams, completely compatible and accessible to blind, and even deaf users.
