Well, point taken... except is that really a typical concern?

In my case, the odds are about 176 billion to 1 that a blind person is going to use any of our software products.

Then they can see what the arrows and crowded markers (whatever they are) look like. Its quicker and easier for readers to take in info from an illustration, rather than having to plow through a long string of words describing the window.
