"Plain speaking" is essentially writing for a audience with third grade reading skills. That is a losing proposition for most readers who will suffer the loss of basic information and nuance that plainspeaking entails. I believe this includes many who are now (imprecisely) labeled "disabled", like intelligent blind or deaf native English speakers or non-English speakers who value subtlety but don't want to be talked down to. Fortunately, with the recent development of powerful natural language computer models, it is now possible to translate any writing into a simplified form using no more computing power than is available in any cell phone. Therefore, I'd like to propose that "writing inclusively for the masses" is actually undesirable due to the inherent loss of information and style, and is unnecessary due to a rise of tech advances recently. IMO, a better way to serve all readers is to write clearly and unambiguously in richer natural language. Then for those who desire simplification, the text can be translated into "plainspeak" as needed, using a tool tuned to perform that task, like Babelfish or Google Translate. I suspect a browser plugin also could do this for user-markedup blocks of text.
