This is not a software problem. Software doesn't need to absorb every requirement. You can prevent this problem in ways that don't involve pretending that somehow it's the responsibility of every software developer to use a11y in every product. So judging as if that's in scope is incorrect, is a wasteful use of judgement and, if people are convinced, a wasteful use of software resources.
Doing that is just harming a11y efforts, by insisting software must be the fix, when there are plenty of other solutions that don't involve rewriting / redesigning a piece of software, likely to deliver solutions faster or better than changes to software.
At this point, I really don't know why you keep advocating this path as your goal can be achieved through other means. Get off the idea that a11y critiques are the ultimate trump card. They are not.
