With all due respect, you're sounding like a child. One thing I have realized from participating on this list, is the variety of needs and experiences WE users have. So while you and I don't use mouse keys (for example), others do. I probably use %2 of WE's functionality, so probably any screen reader I use will work for my needs or wants, but others need far more than I do.
No one is forcing you to purchase anything, but likely, you will have to adapt to new technology whether that technology is adaptive or commercial (meaning for the sighted public as well).
