Easy to say if you're not disabled.

One day, you might be. Just be glad you won't be left behind.

Edit: If you want a purely numbers based analysis, well, you're not considering second-order effects. Investment in accessibility represents an investment in technology. ASR in meetings, for example, is a necessary first step towards good auto-translation.

This is the exact stupid response I mentioned earlier: “be glad you’re not disabled!” How about you get a real argument instead of just shaming people?
