Edit "Why is this important?" to focus on requirements for accessibility to people with disabilities. Separate out "additional benefits", probably under sub-head.
Include the idea I deleted from above: Transcripts are crucial for users who are deaf-blind, [and] for any user who relies on braille. (after copyediting :-) Possibly include such details for others.
Rationale: In skimming, I read the headline (Why is this important?), then the bullets (skipping the paragraph) -- so all I got were the additional benefits, and not the importance for people with disabilities. :( Going back and reading the first sentence, it says:
Besides providing... have benefits beyond their original target audiences: [explanations beyond disabilities]
which seems to minimize the accessibility aspect and focus on the additional benefits.
Copyedit note: The sentence structure is not at all clear given the punctuation: "... deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired or deaf-blind, captions, audio descriptions and transcripts..." is skimmed as a single list.
