That's called being a professional. Engineers create useful and rigorous systems. What other professions get to complain about having to do the "unfun" parts? The world runs on software. I'm unhappy with the idea that the software running the world is just built according to what some people find fun.

Actual engineering professionals spend their time making sure systems are safe and reliable. Website "engineering" "professionals" spend their time doing anti-utilitarian make-work to fend off lawsuit trolls instead of making systems that are safe and reliable.

Making sure that people aren't blocked from completing a task due to a situation beyond their control, such as a physical disability, seems pretty important to me. It's true that some organizations only implement accessibility for the sake of preventing lawsuits, but there's a legitimate reason to have that legislation in the first place.
