Garbage take. The terminal is quite good to work with when you are dependent on a screen reader, because its is already a serial text stream that can be converted into speech quite easily. This is a contrast to regular GUI which needs to be serialized first.
And yes, you need to patch your screenreader to ignore CSI color sequences because many programs are not well-behaving and outputting them even when terminfo doesn't specify them as supported.
And yes, you cannot use all TUI programs (like vi for example), but you can reliably disable these programs by using a terminfo with the hardcopy flag set.
