For most businesses that is very acceptable.  There is a dictum called 
the 80:20 rule, which basically says that you can ignore the 20% least 
profitable end of your market because the additional cost of selling to 
them doesn't justify the returns.  Only if you are in a mature market, 
do they matter; otherwise you simply create a new product, when the 
previous one has saturated the 80%.

This is essentially why legislation is needed to make businesses be 
accessible.

that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
