You seem to be missing some of the important details of this discussion. Look up a few posts. The proposal allows them to make such free copies EVEN IF MY ACCESSIBLE VERSION IS AVAILABLE. Furthermore, EVEN IF MY ACCESSIBLE VERSION IS AVAILABLE, if some governmental official decides it costs too much, then my version is no longer considered accessible.

Again, you seem to be misunderstanding crucial details of this discussion. The issue is not the same price in developed countries as in developing countries. The issue is the arbitrarily lower price for the disabled version than the regular print version in developing countries. Whatever I sell my regular version for, if my disabled version isn't cheaper enough by some governmental rule, I lose my protection.
