The only time I've ever known my passengers to use via points is when a load of teenagers got on the 516 down the seafront because they saw it went to Horsley Hill Square. Other than that, they're not much use when someone's hailing a bus on the street because there's not time to read all of it, and at bus stations I often see people stand looking at the display for a while, and then get on and ask where it goes anyway.

I don't quite understand your point about people not being able to read timetables. Yes they are taught in schools, but as time and maths problems, and if someone just wants to know where the bus goes then they don't need to understand the time aspect. And if they can't read the timetables due to eyesight problems then a half-list of destinations in inch high characters 9ft up on a bus coming towards them at 30mph probably won't be much better.

I'm not massively FOR the changes but I really don't think there's an accessibility issue involved.
