I did not say anything about "automatically" requiring anything.
I responded to your question of "where it is written" with an answer intended to show you that the intent of copyright law includes a dimension that makes it perfectly reasonable to expect providers to address concerns of disabled people, and I gave you a specific citation to where Congress has done exactly that.
The Congress could, if it wished, require that every live performance be filmed, digitized, and made available for free to the disabled, as a condition of granting copyright protection. It has not, at the present, done so. Whether it ever would is debatable - there are obvious difficulties.
But that it could do so if it wished to seems pretty clear.
