For me, since I format ebooks for others as well as for myself, it is very important. It is not that much extra time and effort to continue those habits into all my ePub editing. Little things such as giving images meaningful alt text can make a great difference for someone who is using AT for a minimal effort on my part.
To me, your attitude is the same as those people who complain about making buildings wheel chair accessible, the "I don't need that so nobody should bother" attitude. You may not need those accommodations but there is that minority that does. Perhaps I might be biased since I did some volunteer work for UBC's Crane library when I was a student there decades back but such is life.
You might even consider how few seem to agree with your opinion compared to the number who disagree?
