Definitely a good idea. But consider the real root of the problem - not just some, but the vast majority of the content we generate is hosted by someone else. Even this post is hosted by Hacker News, and pg ultimately controls it's representation. Facebook hosts your content, as does Flickr, Twitter, or even Gmail (which reminds me I need to setup a periodic IMAP backup of my gmail account...)
Anyway, my point is that I think you're right, but the first step is to be the change you want to see, and provide whatever content you, personally, have produced in a way that is readable on lynx (which, by the way, is totally available on Homebrew).
Oh yeah, one other pro-tip: if you're really really concerned about accessibility, try simulating their experience to really see what works and what doesn't. There was an article posted here a while back about a guy who spent a few days using the internet wearing a blindfold. The biggest takeaway for me was that the alt attribute on images was totally ignored!
