From a business point of view you obvisously don't need to be accessible to 100% of potential customers to be viable. People without smartphones are probably less <0.5% of the population. Shops without access ramps lose probably more customers, and yet there are plenty of them.

I was looking more from a customers point of view but I get what you are saying. Your point about the access ramps also makes alot of sense, didn't really think about that case.

    That percentage is of "consumers", might not include the entire population.

        That linked survey didn't include their definition. But young children are one big group that comes to mind.

However, a shop without access ramp might be illegal (in Sweden), while no regulation exists for phone requirements.
