Accessibility can be implemented for third party GUI toolkits.

Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/accessible.html

Web: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility

Even immediate mode toolkits can do it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33859697

Accessibility is not a reason to use first party widgets. It's a reason to use widgets with good accessibility support.

In theory, in practice the myriad of devices and software is rarely tested or works properly beyond official mac and windows interfaces, and maybe gtk and qt if you're very lucky.
