I envy you cause the teams and companies that I've worked with basically say fuck em to that argument.
I have lost jobs and annoyed people trying to argue for greater care with accessibility. It's somewhat depressing.

If it doesn't you can instead appeal to the bottom line. Tell 'em that they might get targeted by an accessibility troll: https://www.wrightlawgroup.com/blog/attack-of-the-ada-trolls
As far as trolls go, I consider these fairly benign, as their behavior actually promotes something good; we got hit with such a lawsuit, and all of a sudden a11y became a big thing as our CEO didn't want to give a dime to those 'greedy assholes'.
In all seriousness, I ask something similar to the above: "Would you feel the same way if you got in an accident that left you blind for the rest of your life?" Sometimes this moves a few people to your side. I don't want to be the only one, but I do care about accessibility. I care a lot, for personal reasons. But like you said, you don't want to be the minority trying to support minorities.
