I'm one of those people...
It's simply about pointing devices hurting my hand, wrist, and arm.
Keyboard use does not.
Is that so hard to understand?
This is what makes it an accessibility issue for me, not a preference.

For _some_ people, the mouse is easier to use, so increases accessibility for _them_. I think the OP was implying that better mouse accessibility could be added on-top of the existing keyboard support.
But then there's this whole subculture in Unix that basically claims that keyboard should be the only device used for interaction. The software that they make makes it deliberately hard, or outright impossible, to use the mouse. And there's a cult following around this, based solely on the notion that it's somehow better in general.
(A stark example of this approach is https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/, where it's readily obvious from the name and the logo.)
I use many different keyboards and pointing devices (not just mice) and the general trend I described holds true.
