I'm just saying that ignoring users and ignoring testers has considerable overlap in this regard.
(And apart from general and professional ethics, local laws might disagree with the assumption that you're free to ignore users for that reason.)
Expose all data trough a clean and documented API. If screenreader accessibility matters, someone will eventually pay you to develop an alternate interface using same API, or an open-source will be developed at some point...
Solution to accessibility problems is usually: (1) expose your data though an API, (2) wait to be paid to develop a truly accessible alternate "light" UI (if it ever happens), but don't cripple the "main ui" (well, actually more like "have it like the customer wants it" ;) heavy animations and fx are "crippling" in my personal view too...).
