Or rather “because your managers never cared and business logic wise, rightfully so”. Standards are great, and as much as we owe it to disabled users as a civic duty, they unfortunately do not represent a financially interesting group to invest (enough, if any) time and budget for for the majority of businesses. As a consequence, they are also less interesting for developers to master. And so the vicious cycle goes. In this article you push devs to learn (which is good) but I think it’s especially their employers that need to be convinced. And good luck with tying that to a $$$ benefit. Sad but it’s the reality..
