In addition to the benefits you mentioned, this also makes your interactive demos accessible with screen readers and other assistive technologies, or at least as accessible as the apps themselves. That makes them better than demo videos.
I also got a good laugh out of the fact that "Improve site accessibility" is one of the sample tasks in your meta-demo. Indeed, the popup dialog, which prompted me for my email and name, should be marked up as an ARIA dialog. I haven't checked out the actual Navattic app, so I don't know yet what accessibility improvements might be needed there.
