The requirement for accessibility is not about preventing you from
saying what you want, it's about preventing you to place restrictions on
who you want to hear what you're saying.
A prohibition to put a "no xxx allowed inside" on your pub window is
not about preventing you from selling beer. Refusing to tag for
accesibility is the equivalent of putting a "no visually impaired
readers allowed" sign on your text.

No, but refusing to acknowledge that texts with multiple languages in
them do need fine-grained tagging certainly is.
