I think you always need to care about the feelings of the developers... Because that privileged and entitled attitude that I see prevalent in open source and even in complaints from customers to a company... I think it's a lacking in empathy thing and it's not a good thing to encourage at all... Also, I don't think you will achieve a good outcome for yourself or for anyone involved (and that's important) if you start from the point of view of let's just not care about the feelings of this group.
But I can also see how you feel like the feelings of accessibility users are not being cared about by this decision...but I encourage you to take a step back and see things in less absolute terms because I...think the situation has a lot of nuance which when appreciated changes the the way you'd be likely to choose if you are in charge of this.

Also in this specific category consider the idea that the isolation model is perforated by the need for accessibility so while you think you're getting simply a gain for accessibility users by opening the product up to be used by them you may be doing so in such a way that weakens the security model not only for all the other users, but for accessibility users as well... So, technically, or logically.. it very much is a trade-off about security, as much as you may wish to deny. I think if you weren't thinking in such absolute terms but more acquainted with the nuance of this technology you might see that as well.
but hey i could be misreading you in my own strident and stupid way, so i'm sorry if that's the case and it's possible i haven't yet considered the nuance of your view and feelings on this.
