All,
It might also be the best way to convey information to low bandwidth areas,

"absolutely necessary" is hard to define.

Note, also, that it doesn't forbid the creation of text-only
sites for _non-disability-access_ reasons.  For example, it's
possible that they think a text-only site is the best way to
convey their information or they're trying to cater to a Lynx
crowd.
