With Talon on Mac I believe this is possible (Mac has surprisingly nice accessibility APIs), but I don't know whether Talon on X11 can do it. If it's possible it would probably(?) involve rolling your own at-spi stuff.
Apple in general seems to really embrace accessibility. I remember using the screen reader back in middle school because it was “cool”, and now some 25 years later I can see that it was the tip of the accessibility iceberg. My iPhone has just _tons_ of accessibility features that I’ll probably never use, but that are invaluable to people experiencing all kinds of accessibility hurdles in their daily life.
I can’t speak much to windows accessibility, although Mouse Keys got me through several rough times in my life where I fried or broke my mouse in some way or another. I do think windows has improved with time, at least by accidentally triggering the screen reading in W10 more times than I’d care to admit
