Thats not entirely accurate. The ADA requires reasonable accommodations, not "the same opportunity". Wether or not making an internal webapp more accessible is reasonable will depend on a lot of other factors.

However, I agree that generally speaking designing your apps to be accessible from the beginning is the right thing to do, and generally results in an easier to use interface for everyone!

I was considering more "good faith effort" w.r.t. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability.cfm but tbh I wish devs would just do the right thing more and less pretend to be lawyers to get away with doing as little as they can to make usable things.
