Nah. Apple’s commitment to pervasive accessibility features has been around for so long and has had so much investment into it it is clear it is in their DNA.

It’s probably the nicest thing about the company, and it stands out even more in the last ten or twenty years as the company becomes more and more scummy and despicable. It’s deep down and was established back when it was run by humans with deep empathy.

Yeah, right. Do not confuse accessibility with simplicity.

So much accessibility that:

You need to use gestures to access critical functions.

Half of screen readers cannot be connected to their hardware.

You cannot easily get someone to write a driver for exotic input hardware.

There's no zoom feature in the OS.

Recently many UIs just break with big scale factors.

Keyboard support is lacking altogether in some bits of the UI.

Information is hidden and alpears at random.

Not to say Windows or Linux is free of it or better. The platforms are bad in different ways.

I get the Apple suspicion, but there's great Zoom functionality on every Apple device I've used. Also color invert, screen reader, and a whole rack of other a11y features. I agree that it's the nicest thing about the company.

macOS absolutely has a zoom feature. I use it regularly, it's bound to ctrl + mouse scroll for me.
