If it’s something that makes someone understand and enjoy their chosen wallpaper preference better is it really useless?
I guess it comes down to your personal interpretation of “usefulness”, but frankly I think you take for granted the amount of detail that you’re able to ascertain from being (presumably) fully sighted.
There’s no reason that someone with any visual disability can’t appreciate a scene with as much detail and intricacy as you can, if it’s adequately conveyed to them.
Words and grammar can be learned and expounded upon, but the description of a scene as “a tree on top of a hill” cannot, so why not err on the side of being overly descriptive for those that can understand, and leave the door open for those that can learn more?
