I have several friends who use screen readers and keyboards because of visual disabilities. I have many more friends who can't use touchscreens because of other disabilities--shaking fingers and similar problems.
I doubt any company that wants to retain its market share is going to entirely shut out users with disabilities--if only because it would mean that government-funded businesses (in the US) wouldn't be able to use those computers. Accessibility is a requirement for schools and gov't offices; they couldn't go to an all-touchscreen environment, no matter how much money they had to put into an overhaul of their offices.
