The developer is causing harm to those who want to access it but can't and he's making money by not making it accessible.

As for harming the environment, that's unrelated

And now no one can use it. Perhaps there’s a way to provide access to those who need it but not sue a person for making a hobby site?

You're assuming the only outcome is the website is shutdown. That's what happened here.

No, I’m saying that the law actually reduced access for this set of lessons, and perhaps we should figure out ways to make things accessible for everyone other than putting the onus on the little guy. Maybe if you’re just one person, then there could be a program where larger companies are required to pay a small tax or donate developer time (in lieu of tax) to help you make your site accessible. That way, the larger companies who can afford to make their site accessible follow the law and do so, and then they also take some of the profits they made off of the public to do a public good.
