I'm not sure that using tools that try to provide a good visual experience is the right approach. Have you tried writing scrapers that provide an optimized textual representation?

I disagree, I think we should all have the responsibility to make sure our sites and apps are accessible.

Yes and no.

Yes, we should all make our sites/apps accessible.

No, some sites/apps are great exactly because they offer a better visual representation that allows faster parsing of the information presented to the vast majority with adequate eyesight.

Just because someone develops a great way to visually take in information, that person should not be forced to develop an equally great textual representation.
