One of the #Accessibility specialists at work shared this gem of an article with me, which I hadn't seen before:
It is not uncommon that I raise an accessibility or usability issue with a client’s design or implementation and am met with either “But #Google does this,” or “But #Apple does this.” Mostly it is the default response to any issue I raise, but it is far worse when it is a reaction to a genuine technical failure or problem real users have identified.
That response does not address the problem I may have raised. It avoids. It offloads responsibility. It declines to even try.
This is followed by a litany of #WCAG and other accessibility violations by the two behemoths.
