The accessibility Slack community have pretty consistently criticized
AccessiBe and other accessibility overlays as a harmful technology. You can
also find mainstream articles like this fairly easily and frequently.

"The National Federation of the Blind, America’s most powerful civil rights
and advocacy group for the visually impaired has launched a scathing attack
on web accessibility overlay market leader accessiBe, accusing the company
of engaging in “harmful” practices."
