Not a lawyer, but if this was true, wouldn't a bunch of developers and companies be facing fines? Especially smaller open-source stuff. And larger companies as well (for instance, Reddit's mobile app is infamously inaccessible).

Yes, they would. We're all only getting away with it because nobody has complained. It's a massive risk that companies are running. I don't know how Reddit has skirted it for so long, but there have been several high profile cases in recent years.
Reddit can be used on a website (which is how I've always used it, old.reddit.com even better) and I assume it's "accessible" on the browser. As another commenter said, as long as disabled users have options for using your application, there's no ground for litigation.
The time isn’t right. They haven’t IPO’d yet. Should file the lawsuit at the end of the second day post-IPO.
