I think that we keep forgetting that the number of people using bitcoin is still extremely small...

Bitcoin wallets are not even properly newbie-friendly. Making wallets and services friendly with blind people would be a step even farther. But I somehow tend to believe that it's not financially viable for somebody to invest that much time into developing such wallets (although really good newbie-friendly wallets is something I also think that we should have already and - arguably - we don't). And hobbyists will make the programs in the way they can use it (i.e. rather advanced and most probably not for blind people).

So I guess that more time has to pass (and with it adoption grow greatly) until we'll see the software and services you'd like.
For payment, with the Lightning Network, this is also more convenient, and novices will see it at first glance. But the popularity of Bitcoin is not so comprehensive. Half of the cryptocurrency people are just investing and do not consider using Bitcoin for payment because they feel that payment is a loss for them.
