Setting the accessible compiler setting to true makes your swf visible to screen readers such as JAWS and Window-Eyes. I would chance a guess that one of the reasons why it is set to false is that it bumps up the size of the compiled swf.
Does it cover the legal requirements for accessibility? In the same way that HTML does...you have to code it so it will.
