You seem to be describing accessibility tools for completely blind users, and I think they were describing accessibility tools for users with other sorts of disabilities. For example, someone who uses a custom stylesheet or a browser extension to make the page have higher contrast.

No, the question applies to those just as much.

As far as I know, parsing the accessibility tree is primarily limited to screen readers / brail displays. Am I missing something?

I'm speaking of the normal DOM representation of the HTML in the page. A server-side highlighter generates HTML with css classes or styling attached that gets turned into a DOM by the browser. A JS-based highlighter edits the DOM by adding css classes or attaching styling. The in-browser representation of the end result, which a browser extension likely works with, can be the same, and how it looks like exactly is more important for their functionality than if the server or JS did it.
