It will not help when it is not used, but since it exists, you may be legally liable in some jurisdictions if you do not take the specified steps to identify the accessibility level of content you sell.
How would you feel if you bought a DVD that only worked in Region 5 without being labeled as such, and your Region 1 DVD player refused to play it? You would feel cheated. You paid money for something you can not use that you would not have paid had it been properly labeled so that you know you could not use it.
It is the same way with accessibility standards. If your content does not conform to specified standards and you fail to label it as such resulting in a purchase from someone who can not use it because it did not meet those standards without being labeled as such, you are potentially opening yourself up to a lawsuit.
