[Athen] article advocating for PDFs in College & Research Libraries News

I don’t even understand what you mean by “advocating for PDF is presently equivalent to advocating that no STEM articles are accessible”. As I have already said several times, the accessibility of a PDF is at least as good as the source document and usually better.

You have not researched enough.  Math/STEM cannot be presented accessibly in PDF. It is only visually presented, which is not accessible.
