Accuracy right now forces players to make choices, not limit choices. I listed numerous such questions that players in the process of gearing need to ask themselves. MrCookTM listed a few other scenarios, like optimizing your setup for different accuracy caps.

If you want to claim that, because BiS exists, that accuracy is redundant, you can just as easily make a case that ALL secondary stats are redundant, because you're inevitably working towards the BiS anyway. But I don't think such a claim would be very popular, as it would reduce all discussion down to ilvl and nothing else. The nature of gearing right now encourages people to experiment and crunch the numbers, leading to some interesting conclusions like black mages stacking piety, scholars adding accuracy, or anyone adding more vitality. It forces you to pick non-optimal gearing for some scenarios because you simply do not have the right pieces. It gives the devs some variety in what drops they care to offer in a given instance ("you can get det/crit here.. or crit/ss here...").
