npub183n8fp0xavfvuejszsfzkf44af77j6xfgmk33k2whm7ktflcr4jqswtahh (npub183n…tahh) you have no idea how right you are. This is a combination of factors, really, we're trying to keep the boat from sinking, because if it does, disabled users like my self and probably others in various dev communities will be locked either in linux TUI only mode, will have to use locked down platforms like mac, or even worse, blood sucking feends, windows. The main factor is the origins of at-spi, implemented in corba. Look it up if you don't know what that is, actually, don't. Next, when oracle bought solaris, they fired the a11y team, so it remained frozen. Then, because law requires accessibility, application toolkits have to implement a standard for that, so on linux, they had to use that. Next, corba was discontinued, so at-spi had to be ported to dbus, but it was done in a hurry, so they basically reinvented the wheel a lot. Now, we dk how to change things, because we have so much technical debt, dk how we'll be able to pay it, best we can do is not make it worse.
