In this case, the device itself might only need a software tweaking to allow a peripheral device to provide the service (like modifying the USB port to allow control input). There would be little to no additional product charge for that. Then the peripheral would be bought by those who needed it only.
Taxes pay for things like accessible sidewalk corners; we don't all need to use them, but I don't begrudge my taxes for paying for them. I also wouldn't complain about an added cost to a product for accessibility... and you can always buy something else.
