@freya @sendai @PepperTheVixen it's still that way basically. Sun was the last company to seriously invest into the linux accessibility. Not even out of the goodness of their own hearts, but as a requirement for government contracts. Things have essentially just been bitrotting since then with the demise of them and the workstation market.
Some folks mostly from GNOME have started a new modern stack (Newton) recently, but imo it'll be a long while before any improvements get plumbed through.
