Voice response. Voice modules have been available for various rigs for
sometime. They don't listen and do what you ask. But they will read the
S-meter, tell you what frequency/band you're one. It with be technically
easy to build a small option box that would handle a voice interface. If
a web server is built into a radio, a voice interface could be managed
as a web app. There are many possibilities.

Elecraft has always said they will provide support for blind operators.
I just wonder how touchscreens fit into that commitment.

While those are certainly advantages, there are several
disadvantages. Number 1 on my personal hit parade: they aren’t
tactile. You have to look at them to operate them. Which means, for
you, another distraction. For me, it means extra support (think
VoiceOver on iOS, Talkback on Android, VoiceView on the Amazon Fire
things). So far, none of the ham radio manufacturers has implemented
anything like that, and so touch screen interfaces on a lot of stuff
are out of my reach, as it were. Of course, knobs and switches and
buttons have the advantage of being able to be manipulated without
having to see where they are.
