Try this: turn out the room lights so you can't see the keyboard, but
only the screen. Now try to type a password in M-x shell
$ echo -e 'password: '; read p; echo $p
Did you get back what you thought you typed in?
Anyway, without an option to echo back what you typed, perhaps some
disabled users will be at a disadvantage.

No. The relevant application should respond with a clear "password
failed" if necessary. I cannot for the life of me imagine why Emacs
should provide an option to echo passwords.
