Yet.
This design is really punitive for older, tireder eyes and they really need to learn not to do this. Because their audience gets older all the time (as the population in all western countries does).
Their design team is evidently skewed young again, and needs to really learn about how ageing affects eyesight for absolutely everyone. It is insane to put everyone over about 50 into an accessibility category, but eyesight ageing is one of the things that can't be held back.

What's good for someone with eyesight problems is also good for a young person standing outside under the sun's glare. What's useful for a one-handed person will also serve you when you're carrying your toddler in one hand. A silence compartment on a train might make you effectively deaf for a while, a hangover or a night of bad sleep might make your attention sink, and so on. We're all somewhere on the spectrum, and most importantly, where in the spectrum we are changes frequently during the day. That's why it's so important for all interfaces to be accessible by default rather than having a buried switch somewhere.
