It rarely translates to real life. do you know how many inaccessible things there are in the world with no plans to make them accessible. The fact we can use iphones and macs at all is amazing to me. I can ask them to improve things, but IMO I don't have a "right" to everything I ask for.
If you didn't have voiceover you would have no way to run your braille display, so if you care about that you should care about voiceover. why should they know better, because it is useless to you it is to everyone? their job isn't to make every single modification because you have a right to it. If you want to speak out why don't you try not deviding deaf/blind against blind. If you want something done wouldn't it be better to work with us, not to antagonize us by letting us know our products are useless to you so apple should know better? what, doesn't even make sense. without voiceover you would be without braille, period.
