Visually impaired people prefer being able to use the browser and actually be able to understand the content of websites.

These features are local, private and improve accessibility, so I really don't see any similarities with telemetry which can be turned off anyway.

It’s good for them, I guess.

Yes, telemetry can be turned of with user.js settings. I hope this can also be turned off that way.

It's great how Firefox can be customized through userChrome.css und user.js. I'm only using the former to put the tab bar in the same row with the url bar to save vertical space while using sidebery/vertical tabs, but it's good that it's still available.
