What about the people blind in both eyes? Screens in general won't do them any good. I'm not sure why this is a 'downside.' There are a wide spectrum of disabilities but as long as their are options for them I don't see an issue. Seems unlikely that one will be REQUIRED to view stuff in 3D, more that it will mainly give a bit more eye-candy/immersive feel...
