I cannot see the original post (only a reply), but captions are for users with hearing and/or language needs. They are a visual affordance that are not helpful to blind users.

For low-vision users, closed captions can be scaled, colored, back-plated, etc. Open captions are burned into the video frames and cannot be adjusted.

A screen reader has no reason to access closed captions since that would conflict with audio from the video.
