I don't think the issue is using declarative UI frameworks, it's that the rendering engines these frameworks are outputting to are not taking accessibility into account.

I think it’s clear from the article declarative UI could be done, with correct implementation and some options to disable noise.

Clearly no one put thought into any of that. It was just “make terminal, but pretty”.

Totally. I had a colleague who was a pretty awesome programmer and was completely blind. When I first met him, he was working on a braille 3270 terminal. Those IBM terminals were capable of all sorts of stuff.
