Accessible hyperlinks benefit a wide range of users. Descriptive hyperlinks are compatible with assistive technology and describe the landing page of the link in roughly 2-5 words. This is much more accessible than writing out the full URL, which will probably be read like a word salad by screen reading software. Accessible hyperlinks are also visually more appealing and easier to navigate than listing out the full URL.
