If UA/AT design had reached the stage where all markup was equally accessible to all, then we could happily go back to (say) using tables for layout, <font> for styling and so on, and consign CSS to a dustbin marked "no longer required". But in reality, UA/AT design is far from that point, and it therefore behoves both HTML authors and the designers of HTML to ensure that accessible markup is permitted, encouraged and exploited.
