Yeah, I would agree that they probably didn't even think about it. I'd probably interpret the spell as removing the "blinded" condition, whether it's caused by magic or just someone throwing sand in the character's eyes or other "normal" causes of the blinded condition.
The Pathfinder version also specifies "The spell does not restore ears or eyes that have been lost, but it repairs them if they are damaged." Someone with congenital blindness or deafness may not have "damage" that can be repaired, and with the ears/eyes being naturally non-functional, the spell giving them a new ability (sight/hearing) that they previously didn't possess could be interpreted as being beyond the spell's scope.
