How many of us get to walk into green field projects or even decently architected projects? Accessibility isn’t too hard if you build conventions around doing it from the first commit, but adding aria tags and labels to 100s of old files is going to be a massive undertaking that few product managers will sign off on. I think it is less incompetence and more when it comes down to the wire, those are the first things to get cut or ignored.

It doesn’t really matter what’s there already. If your job this week is to add a new feature, spend some time this week thinking about accessibility. If you’re just fixing something old, then don’t worry about it.

I’m not even going to be prescriptive about how much time. If you have 5 minutes, fine, good.
