Hi Sarven. To agree, and to also point out that there has been ongoing work on making the article text more 'accessible' via HTML - https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessible_HTML.html. This is actual, real, funded work done to improve the publication process. Since we're doing reviewing and other stuff for 'free', it would be nice to support such initiatives with our time if not money/effort. If the publishers can't be changed, there's nothing stopping people from putting up accessible pre-prints and alternative copies of the work online, or making this a mandatory part / requirement of submissions. Better start somewhere rather than nowhere!
