So does the real world. Things are hard to do with disabilities. That's what the word means. This has great potential, and it's not worth shutting down because some people aren't able to use it.

I can also see this being very helpful for people who have cerebral palsy, for example. Larger movements are easier, this might help someone use the web more easily.

What if a bank used this for authentication and disable people can't use their custom interface devices? Does that mean that disabled people shouldn't access to their bank accounts?

Maybe if this was the input device that interacts with the standard web, then there is potential here, but it would be unfortunate if a company used this as a primary means of input.

That's the bank's mistake, not this library's.
