So, how is it insensitive? Seriously. I don't see it.
Does everyone have a right to every entertainment option in the form they choose?

Depends on the situation and what country you live in. In the places that a large proportion of Mobilereaders come from, when it would be easy to provide access for people with disabilities (no "unreasonable hardship" would be incurred), then yes, it may very well be against the law to deliberately withhold that access. And yes, this applies to entertainment just as it applies to all sorts of other life activities.
Libraries have already been smacked down in the USA for ordering inaccessible ereaders for their patrons. Cinemas in Australia have been ordered to up their accessibility or get into legal hot water. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before someone brings the first suit regarding deliberate withholding of ebook access.
