I really really hope there are. Not just because of people who need these provisions, but also for everyone else, as accessibility is the last line of defense for preserving end-user interoperability.
Screen readers need to see a de-bullshittified, machine-readable version of the site + this is required by law sometimes, and generally considered a nice thing to enable -> the site becomes not just screen-reader friendly, but end user automation-friendly in general.
(I don't know how long this will hold, though. LLMs are already capable of becoming a screen reader without any special provisions - they can make sense of the UI the same way a sighted person can. I wouldn't trust them much now, but they'll only get better.)
