Braille is the most readily-available form of accessibility. People are taught the Louis Braille story in school, then grow up believing all blind people can read. We have Braille for menus, ATMs, signs, fact plates at museums. Yet the people who benefit from it the most are denied the education to utilize such a common mode.
Ontop of that, the education system likes using the aural method because it's cheaper for them to use over the long run. Yet once the students are on their own, they're either unable to afford to buy the devices they used throughout their educational life or they're unable to afford the repair or replacement costs of the devices. Yet replacing a Braille device impulsively is cheaper than the alternatives.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
