> X11 never had a model to permit this for accessibility tooling while blocking it for other code. Wayland does, but suffers from the surrounding infrastructure not being well developed yet.

Does it? Because last I checked, Wayland did not, in fact, have the same features, and you don't get credit for "permitting" use of something that doesn't exist.

> When you read anything about Linux accessibility, ask yourself whether you're reading something written by either a user of the accessibility features, or a developer of them. If they're neither, ask yourself why they actually care and what they're doing to make the future better.

Okay: AFAIK, mjg59 is not a user of a11y features, and is not a developer of them (22 years ago yes, since then no). Ergo, by his own standards he isn't allowed to talk about this.
