This is suprisingly legible

That's because it's missing some lines like stagnation enthalpie and stagnation pressure

Illiterate != inaccessible

Also pictures are more difficult to translate into braille or large text. So a picture actually makes this less accessible.

Unless text is removed to add the picture, nobody loses anything by adding additional tools that help some people.

I heavily disagree. As a visual learner I need pictures. Everything is visual to me, even math, language, programming… if you give me a wall of text using abstract terms I won't understand shit. I require graphs, visual representations, mindmaps, something.

It might not be the optimal medium for everyone (there is no universally accessible medium for anything!), but to argue that pictures make things less accessible is just plain wrong.

I don't feel that removing the "of Spiderman" was necessary here

People will just use AI to summarize (after which they will pretend to understand, just like they would do to a picture).
