                  @ZBennoui @kellylford @matt The big thing is that for decades, we've essentially been the beggars, not the choosers. Even in , often when you ask for an enhancement you either get a "no, too hard" or "submit PR and then maybe lmao". With that pushback it makes sense that people have decided they've had enough of not being considered important enough and just making a tool yourself. Even well-established projects like , etc. have been steadily backsliding over the last decade so what's a person to do?
                  It absolutely means there's likely a lot of tools out there that may very well be doing things insecurely or inefficiently, and the developer might not even know. So now it becomes a responsibility question: do we blame the dev, who isn't a dev, for doing dev wrong, or the user for trusting what they feel is now their only/best option? THis is where accessibility negligence has taken us.
