Try being autistic and not disabled and using smartphones with sweaty hands and tired eyes. And modern UI design in general.
I’ve been dreaming of a certain legislation for PC user interfaces and the Web since 10 years ago ; in essence that would mandate that everything governmental and commercial should be usable for blind people (because with modern UI\UX I want to close my eyes and pretend I’m blind) with screen readers and Braille terminals.
That legislation would absolutely kill what clueless crowds call “user-friendly UIs”, and I would be happy and gleeful, because it wouldn’t kill UIs following good old industrial ergonomics.
It would, of course, present a lot of challenges for such a transition.
I never realized how much we hated disabled people until I worked for a hospital/school.
“We”.

So you want to severely inconvenience the vast majority of people for your own personal gain?
Surely there is a better compromise
That’s what they do with walkways, is it not?
