Accessibility is a product design choice. Accessibility isn't just for the disabled, it affects everyone.

In that sense everything is a product design choice.

The point was that having a landing page that goes to a Sign Up option before showing all the content is not necessarily an accessibility issue, it's a decision made to drive sign ups and therefore revenue and it's not something the a11y team would've been in charge of. Blind people can still navigate the page provided the components are accessible in the same way sighted users can.
