The Privacy section is a new one, and Accessibility was previously optional.
Rationale for the new section: it makes sense to distinguish between security and privacy, even if there is an overlap.
Rationale for requiring both: not making accessibility and privacy part of the core things required for a XEP is bad in this day and age, even if I expect that most XEPs will not have much applicable on those topics. It will make sure the authors have to consider those aspects before submitting.
