I agree that there are some cases in which !important could be interesting (and it will most definitely need to be used in the user-defined styles to override the ones from the site). But from an accessibility perspective, the idea of immutability (from the developer side) is dangerous, as it takes away power from the users to customize the experience to better fit their needs. Let me recheck the article, and I'll edit and add a note about it.
