Part of accommodating people who have a disability is introducing equity and equality into the process, and making it possible for all candidates to use those options. There might be a perception that one route is easier than another, and if that’s the case, it’s a failure on the part of the interview process.
Options provided for equality and equity are not supposed to ease requirements for a subset of people, but ensure that their evaluation doesn’t punish or discount them.

"I need extra time for my interview" and "I'm uncomfortable with a phone call" sounds like a very easy way to get third party help without anybody being the wiser. And again, that flies in the face of their attempt to actually level the playing field.

So... that's a sort of natural counter weight.
