A VS Code extension is an opportunity to offer a different/improved UX. It offers theming, commands, and shortcuts that are not available in a browser. For visually impaired users, you can provide a high contrast theme. That matters

A visually impaired would almost certainly have a browser extension or a tampermokey script which already converts websites to high-contrast since obviously that type of user is using the web and will encounter sight issues where he goes, so that type of user already have that problem solved and does not need a "special" vscode extension. it is only helpful if you have a single screen, and even so, not that helpful IMO since the same operation to open stackoverflow in vscode would take the exact same time as to open it in a browser. (requires only 2 clicks from vscode: 1 - open browser, 2 - stackoverflow bookmark)
