For a user running into broken pages, sure, you have to compose with what you have.

As a developer, however, get your shit fixed! And that fixing doesn't involve any MCP. Don't expect visitors to run AI...

Why not? That's a more reasonable expectation than asking every website to change.

Because ethical issues aside, that's expensive to run, unreliable, non-deterministic hot mess that doesn't have predictable behavior. And predictable behavior is somewhat key.

I won't blame a disabled user seeking AI-based tools to browse the web to survive with what they have, but I will totally blame the devs who created the situation.

A user interpreting visual meaning is vastly more reliable than expecting all the websites the user interacts with to be ARIA compliant.
