Sigh. You do realise, of course, that accessibility requirements will affect a significant part of the population, esp. as they age.
And that the development of the Linux accessibility stack was in part a response to the expanding legal frameworks. I remember the discussions. That momentum was not sustained.
These are serious points, and I find it troubling that you don't see their significance
Your dismissal of accessibility as of less importance makes my point..

@iaruffell @jzb @ammdias I'm not dismissing accessibility. It is becoming even more critical as the population of the G7 ages. I'm describing the head space of those in the industry who have always ignored the needs of the vulnerable, in favor of currying favor with The Moneyed. Tech leadership spends so much time with petrostate despots, bigoted billionaires, & misogynistic white supremacists like Epstein, it's not surprising that those attitudes carry forward into their design philosophy.
