Because there is no single "accessible" theme,
and there can't be...

Some users require high contrast, some require
very low contrast.  Some want big text, some (who
for instance use a screen magnifier instead of
relying on the theme for magnification) want
"normal" sized text.

That's why the gov't requirements don't just specify
text sizes, contrast ratios, etc. available.
