You mean deaf organizations, right?
In any case, I agree with you. Some people would say "If you're deaf, just buy the regular book, it's cheaper", but there's a significant use case that's not covered by that: imagine if you bought a large collection of audiobooks and then due to some medical problem, you lose your hearing (and yes, I have heard of people suddenly losing most of their hearing in their 30s). Amazon could be sued if they didn't have an accessible option.
Edit: Here's another use case: Someone who's HOH and can understand most of the audiobook but needs assistance with a few passages here and there.
