Perhaps a more general state is that it's a moral obligation to think and care about inclusivity relevant to your platform, instead of just "works for me"ing it

Perhaps a more general state is that it's a moral obligation to think and care about inclusivity relevant to your platform, instead of just "works for me"ing it.
The application I work on is not specifically inclusive of blind people. However, it is inclusive of people who have very basic levels of general and technical education (e.g. not understanding what a percentage is), because those are the people we know use it.
I think it's understandable if your videogame doesn't work with blind people, but lots of people have simple visual imparements you could work around (colour blind modes, scalable UI for old people etc).
Similarly, giving a shit about having good contrast on your website doesn't seem like a big ask, as well as not breaking everything when someone wants to scale fonts.
I don't think you have to support every possible use case under the sun, but at least thinking about and considering some of them is a big positive step.
