Because that is the most practical and correct answer for your 
situation; especially given the disk access issues.


AIUI assistive technologies have been standard on FOSS graphical 
workstations for years.  It should be possible to turn assistance off, 
but it might not be possible to eliminate the machine code throughout 
the entire software stack.


I install Debian with the Xfce desktop, SSH server, and standard system 
utilities onto minimal hardware.  It takes a known amount of time and 
usually works.  I have successfully ignored assistive technologies for 
years (decades?).  Yes, the assistive technologies are wasting storage, 
memory, and cycles, and they create a larger threat surface, but those 
risks and costs are cheaper than me trying to understand and control all 
of the details.


Succeeding with software requires that you devise strategies to work 
within the limitations of the software.  Alternatively with FOSS, you 
can change the software.
