if i only read HN threads i'd assume 95% of users exclusively use some screen readers to read the web
it's become a trope to the point i know i can ctrl-f "screen reader" if literally anything ui related is being discussed

On the whole I'd say it's a good thing because it means that the various awareness campaigns are working. Better that this kind of stuff is "overdiscussed" than not discussing it at all.
And besides, this focus has some useful side effects. For example, pages designed with screen readers in mind are also that much easier to interact with from scripts and other automation.
