IT Accessibility SME discussion: If Domino's Pizza can be sued for not having an accessible website, can YouTube be held accountable for removing community captions?

Check out this article from last year: Supreme Court hands victory to blind man who sued Domino’s over site accessibility

Here's some important highlights with emphasis added by me:

The case was originally brought by a blind man named Guillermo Robles, who sued the pizza chain after he was unable to order food on Domino's website and mobile app despite using screen-reading software.

The decision not to grant the case is a loss for the company and a win for disability advocates, who have argued that if businesses do not have to maintain accessible sites, disabled people could be effectively shut out of substantial portions of the economy.

So that leads me to a discussion thought: Does removing community captions shut out d/Deaf and deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) communities?
