What about users with scripting enabled but no mouse? You can access
links via keyboard or voice recognition, you cannot access
non-interactive elements with event handlers though.

This reasoning always goes both ways. Just because something is
generated via scripting does not make it follow other rules. The
human/computer interaction layer stays the same.
