You're confusing accessibility with usability. If your intended audience does not use screen readers then no need to have to code for them specifically. Nielsen disagrees - he thinks everything everywhere must conform to section 508. Your attitude of "I'm no useability expert by far, but I know a shitty web site when I see one." is one of the biggest problems the industry faces. Everyones a designer, apparently. You look at a site and make an instant judgement that you like/dislike it based on your own personal opinions, which most of the time are horribly out of whack with the A) intended audience and B) intended purpose of the site. Quoting the ol'standby's of "don't use 'click here'" and "don't use small fonts" really shows your ignorance.
