to sate your curiosity, screen readers don't read out the code of what's going on; it only tells you exactly what is visible on the screen. it will read the sentence or paragraph that you hover over.
for example, if you hover over the header of a quote, it will read "[USERNAME] wrote on [DATE] [TIME]" and end there. you then have to hover over the quoted text for it to be read to you.
in fact, quotes HELP visually impaired people know when parts of a post aren't the poster's words but instead from others who have talked by having high contrast colours that separate it from the rest of the post. using screen readers on FR is extremely easy and clear, and quotes don't cause problems; neither do posts containing multiple quoted sections. it's highly accessible and super easy to follow (until you get to images that don't have alt text, but that's not the program nor staff's fault if users aren't using alt text).
tl;dr: quotes are accessibility tools for the visually impaired.
