This is nothing like that. Demanding that all devices be accessible is like demanding that every door of a business be accessible and every seat in the building be accessible. Kobo, Amazon, and Sony all make software that can run on PCs and tablets, allowing users to use those devices to access their bookstores and books. Now, you might make a case that those bookstores should have some requirement to work with accessibility software, such as screen readers and that the DRM doesn't get in the way of using the books, but there is access to the content.
