Well, people that are blind (or close to it) are not effected, as they are using screen readers which really don't care about contrast. It effects people that have just normal vision problems but that can still see and use normal monitors. They may have color-blindness issues, fuzzy vision, doubled vision, any of a number of vision issues where low-contrast really can make things far more problematic. Or even just someone using a monitor with a low color resolution. Even people with normal vision will get more eye strain reading pages with low contrast. I know I personally have more issues with it than other people do, although in my case it just makes pages uncomfortable, but not impossible to read. I often will just drag my mouse over and select the text on the page to read it more comfortably. It's just basically not very user-friendly to assume that everyone can see with perfect vision, so ideally use text that is sufficiently different than your background colors.
