I think people would probably feel less strongly about design decisions like these if their customization weren't confined to the Accessibility settings.
Same thing goes for, say, the caption settings on tvOS.
It's an interesting UX decision to always confine those settings to just that category when it's perfectly normal to change and customize settings to their own personal preference. But Apple are also big believers in only putting settings in one place, and obviously people with disabilities in particular might become outright unableto use Apple devices and software without them.
But maybe it feels like a design concessions to give people are more direct way to change your design decisions on Apple's part.
People have lots of opinions about Microsoft's designs, but most of them aren't as important when there are (somewhat) straightforward settings to tweak them.
Apple makes a big deal about how much they focus on accessibility (which they honestly do), so it might be that the Accessibility team is the only group that has the internal clout to push back on these types of design changes. As long as the setting is categorized as accessibility, the design teams might just have to live with it.
It’s very possible that if the settings weren’t under accessibility, they might not exist at all.
