This latest video of Wayland from @BrodieOnLinux is one of the most elitist and bad faith video I saw of him when trying to defend wayland.
Here's a few points.
* This is pedantic and in a bad faith too but if all minorities(this includes disabled people too) are equal, 1% affected shouldn't be considered second class citizen because "nah, it's only 0.1% of people will need this feature". If minority matters, this is something that should never be used as an argument.
* On the 1% of userbase not being "important". Dude, Linux is that "1%", before Valve investing a lot on Linux, it wasn't even 1% on steam charts and even today it didn't go above 3%. By your logic Valve should never invested on it.
* As someone who had to work/learned about accessibility it's something that it's a complex can of worms but the issue isn't that on windows or Mac isn't good out of the box.
The issue is that while windows/Mac/x11 provides API's or ways to deal with that, wayland doesn't and that's the problem. You can make a good/use good accessibility software but you CAN'T on wayland without going full root mode.
