Sadly this is not always the case: sometimes accommodations for one disability can make things worse for people with a different disability (e.g. bright lights for those with low vision are bad for people with light sensitivity). This is called "access clash".

I don't know a term for when disability accommodations make the service worse for non-disabled people, but that also happens: for instance, subtitles often ruin comic timing, and large icons and text reduce usable screen real estate. In both cases it can help to make accessibility features opt-in, but that adds complexity and assumes everyone can make an individual choice - often impossible in group settings.
