This is a fundamentally inequitable and illogical stance. If blind users cannot install the OS without help, there will be fewer of them to benefit from a robust accessibility implementation, and what blind users do exist today are the subjects of survivorship bias.

It also continues to perpetuate the exclusionary belief that disabled people should need to "plan" (your word) to carry out tasks that others can do on a whim. They do not have an army of helpers available on demand to pick up the work that a project isn't prioritising.
