Speaking personally, this is about providing a visitor choice, in some cases without them having  to explain or defend how their body works differently  from others.
Simple example, visiting  your provided link, I could not even find where the transcripts were.  Might have searched too swiftly, but still.
Providing both is like providing more than one menu option.  An individual can simply make a choice nothing else required.
Just my stance,
Karen
