"Dear Microsoft, icons are utterly useless to the blind"

So are road signs. Doesn't mean we shouldn't have them.

Blind people don't drive, but they do use computers.

There is nothing wrong with icons, but having only icons isn't good. Different people have different needs and preferences, so give us the Ribbon if you must, but have an option for the File, Edit, View menubar too.
