As a user with my own accessibility problems, I have read such comments from LO
devs in the past. Since I am already setting some OS's options for my own
visual shortcomings, I can confidently say that relying on wide OS settings is
not nearly adequate. Examples: areas/boxes that are not prepared for bigger
fonts (so I am unable to read the complete text), or UI elements that look even
smaller than normal because I have added a screen size factor to the whole OS.
There are such problems in the OS itself already, so it is no surprise it
happens on individual applications/software too. (OT: the formula bar input box
should allow flexibility; having to use a magnifier for it is not necessarily
efficient.)

Now, MS Windows already has Accessibility settings such as "color filter"
(including for deuteranopia, protanopia and tritanopia, among other
customization options) and "high contrast" possibilities. Whether these could
actually be of any help for this case and usage of Calc, only the relevant
users could actually test and provide feedback.
