@yatil@yatil.social I'm pretty sure I've said the same fairly recently, forgetting about the DOM, and I use the things. Wonder when they stopped looking at the html.
I remember using JAWS 3.2 which had a reformat page command, which did things with the code including inserting the word "link" before each link. Those were the bad old days.

@KaraLG84@dragonscave.space It’s probably a gradual change, but HTML AAM was first published in 2015, and I think that was the beginning (or maybe just codifying what was already happened at the time in the wake of ARIA). There are probably subroutines/heuristics that might still access raw HTML, but I would think they are super rare. https://www.w3.org/standards/history/html-aam-1.0/
