Lynx is not a screen reader. (In fact, it's considerably less accessible to blind users than a typical desktop browser -- as a console application, it has no way to provide accessibility data to a screen reader.)

A screen reader is a tool like JAWS or VoiceOver which interacts with desktop software (including web browsers like Chrome or Safari) to provide information about what the user is interacting with.

FFS, you had console screen readers in Linux since forever.

And even OpenbSD, with yasr. It works fine with speech-dispatcher.

Less accesible? Maybe in your limited world, but this is "Hacker" "News".

Well, I guess the new IT generations are even less aware of TTS systems since 1998 or so.
