While it's fun and easy to pick on Clubhouse lately, this is true of every new software business. A company can value privacy, security, and accessibility, but it still makes sense to value finding a viable sustainable business model more, particularly with the clock ticking as you burn through your funding. Privacy, security, and accessibility are difficult and expensive, and most often come at the cost of slowing down iteration on new functionality at the time when fast iteration is the most important. And no amount of money will buy you speed if every new feature needs to go through a whole accessibility review. If privacy, security, and accessibility advocates want to be taken seriously they need to stop bitching every chance they can and start offering solutions to developers to make it brain-dead simple to respect all 3 aspects while not slowing down the pace of development. Instead accessibility advocates seem to be more interested in criticizing every attempt at automating accessibility while acting incredulous when early stage startups aren't willing to pay them $300/hr to consult on UIs that may not even make it into production.
