I don't see how this is a positive thing for accuracy.

Not many gear choices is a problem of BIS and meta on secondary stats - the gear is there, of course more choic eis always better. If you have a BIS list, you automatically limit your choices.
Currently, Acc for DPS seems to be just a forced stat used to kind of down-pad the shiny and more desireable sec stats.
Not beeing able to take item X instead of item Y because of #accuracy, is actually limiting choices.
On the other hand, removing accuracy makes picking different 'BiS' sets for different pieces of content obsolete and therefore picking gearsets even more bland. I agree that accuracy as a stat just forces us to replace stats that actually do something (aka raise your dps) in favor of a stat that just lets you hit your target 100% of the time, by just picking a random sky high number that has to be met, which admittedly is kinda dumb.

If acc wasn't there though, there would be only one real BiS set that everyone is working to get, and every other piece of gear would just be a filler and land on your retainer once you obtain the superior piece. The way it is now, I have 4 different gearsets: one for trash content that doesn't require any acc at all (or such a low number it's hard to not hit that cap), one for everything up to T11 cap, one for T12 and one for T13. Thus depending on the content I'm doing, I swap around pieces quite regularly. The damage difference between the everything-up-to-T11-set and the T13 one is around 10 dps on average, which is quite a number. What I really wanna say though is, accuracy is a way to make pieces viable, which are not included in the ultimate T13 BiS, and swapping around pieces for different instances to min-max stats is quite fun (well at least for me). It also makes me happy if I loot pieces that I may not be able to use in the highest raid because of acc issues, but maybe optimize a lower acc set, instead of just being 'uh, cool to have, but i will not use it since i already have the 'superior' piece for that slot...'.
