Not having something in the 'forefront' of one's mind isn't equivalent to "not caring".

You should also keep in mind that you're (implicitly) asking people to do more work – which is fine, but there are real costs and people aren't bad because they haven't already borne them.

No that is exactly my point - it's not "more work" if you think about it from the start. Just like it isn't more work to make a site responsive if you start correctly - but it's significantly more work when you have to rewrite a lot of components later because you didn't take accessibility (or responsiveness) in consideration at the start.

Most of my job as a developer is thinking. So yes, it is more work. Accessibility / Responsiveness isn't always done first because it takes more time (either thinking or "working").
