@drewdevault @ironiridis framing a disabled person's need and request for accomodatimg features as "entitlement" is a category error.
for every case of one of them expressing those in a less-than-excellent manner, there's a crowd of others who were excellent about it and got ignored because importance of the request was judged on purely technical grounds by able-bodied developers. some of the less-than-excellent cases may have been born out of frustration and exhaustion from trying to get that across.
please do not apply collective responsibility like this.
usually, your takes on social issues in technology are among the very best and most considerate. let's try to figure out how to turn this into one of those, for the benefit of everyone involved.
