Another reason is that some are unable to use Braille due to retropathy.
For me, I am unable to read standard print tho I can read print if it is
zoomed up to a bigger font size and the colors are inverted.  i've only
recently started using text to speech and still find the voices somewhat
difficult to understand but am steadily plowing onward.  I didn't start
losing my sight until the age of 35 and my brain was too befuddled with all
the daily living skills to worry about learning Braille when there were
other options open to me.

Different strokes for different folks.  We all muddle thru in our own way.
Let's help each other without making any issue of how we do things
differently.  Some of us don't know all the options open to us cuz we are
coming into the *blind* game later.
It is nice to have those who have been at this game longer willing to lean a
hand to us newbies!
