Your suggestion that access for the handicapped is ludicrous.
It is very much the same as attempting to demand that wider doors for wheelchair access
ONLY be placed on special busses for the handicapped, rather than every bus. There is not a way for you to make this not so.
And that is exactly how this would play out in court.
Amazon released their player with software the handicapped require built in.
Suggesting that they do not have a right to offer this vital service on their machines since not everyone needs it is a stretch. You are not going to get any where trying to twist this monotone computer voice into not being simply a standard solution for the handicapped you will get nowhere.
I will even lay odds that they simply licensed existing code for that purpose and grafted it in.
It should be fairly simple to find out.
