I agree, let's just add it to the understanding to clear up any confusion.

The reason being is that this gives "cause" to users with cognitive disabilities. "Cause" is a legal standard that must be met, demonstrating that an individual has been harmed, in order to bring forth a lawsuit. A user who is not blind, and does not rely on braille cannot sue a compant for not providing braille materials, because that does not harm them. Although it would harm a person that is blind.

If this aspect (of the reliance on placeholder) is already a failure of 3.3.2, why not add that particular aspect/example - with specific reference to users with cognitive disabilities - directly in 3.3.2's understanding/techniques? You don't have to have separate SCs covering the same aspects for different audiences/users.
