RHEL is intended for servers and not desktop systems. Most servers are
accessed over the web, and installed over the network. For a different
server OS, on a recent project we didn't even create anything but
network install images. I'm not sure if this justifies Red Hat's
position, but I can see where desktop access to a server OS wouldn't be
a priority.
Also, the NFB does not like to sue people. It much prefers to settle
things outside of court, and resorts to law suits as a last resort.

I was kind of frustrated by your message because I thought it
incredibly unfair.
So, I started digging and found
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/3/html/Installation_Guide_s390/s1-intro-access.html
Unfortunately, that site is so out of date that it kind of makes your
point for you.
Technically I'm not convinced speakup is the Linux accessibility
solution I'd advocate for, but that site at least (particularly
containing pointers to documents last updated in 2002) does demonstrate
a lack of attention to accessibility.
