Text isn't more legible without structure, and without communicating structure, which is what various accessibility toolkits do, you don't get this supposed benefit
Text has inherent structure that GUIs don't. The ceiling for GUIs is higher (thanks to standards and supporting frameworks), but the floor for TUIs is higher.
Ok, what is the inherent structure of these two columns and how is a screen reader supposed to divine that structure without the framework telling it that there are 2 headers with the following text? And imagine the layout is space-separated as in cli utils
