The Intent in Understanding Text Spacing should say what disabilities are impacted, and how changing spacing helps. It's covered further down, but a sentence or two in Intent would be helpful.

[Official WG Response]

Thank you for your comment. The working group agrees that this would be a good addition. We will add the following text as a second sentence in the Understanding Document:

For example, people with low vision or dyslexia may override an author's set spacing to enable readability or increased reading speed.

Implemented suggested text from WG at https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/blob/text-spacing/understanding/21/text-spacing.html - more edits needed by this document but the text is incorporated.
