No one cares about accessibility when ad dollars are at stake.

  They do when regulators come calling with significant penalties.

    There are no significant penalties at this time.

      They're not focusing on sites like FB, because using them isn't a requirement of any meaningful task. Lawyers are definitely going after things like companies' job sites. Applying for a job is a protected action and no discrimination is allowed, either intentional or not.

      No, but there more and more lawsuits filed every year over website accessibility issues. https://www.adatitleiii.com/2019/01/number-of-federal-website-accessibility-lawsuits-nearly-triple-exceeding-2250-in-2018/ https://www.adatitleiii.com/2019/01/number-of-federal-websit...
