I've had to work on a11y efforts. One challenge I see is that some websites/apps are not overly usable for people that don't have disabilities. Also, many of the calls on what needs to happen or not are subjective when getting an audit and go far beyond this list guidelines. Then on top of that if you are big enough, or get in someones crosshairs, you face the threat of the DOJ making an example of your company based on a number of standards (beyond this checklist) that are nebulous.

> if you are big enough, or get in someones crosshairs, you face the threat of the DOJ making an example of your company based on a number of standards (beyond this checklist) that are nebulous. Nonsense. This checklist relates all its items with WCAG criteria; basically all legal requirements directly cite WCAG or have requirements based on them. Even though meeting all WCAG criteria does not guarantee that every person in the world can use the content, no entity is going to get sued for that. Also, the checklist is preceded by "Does this checklist guarantee my site is accessible? No. However, addressing the issues called out in this checklist will help improve the experience for everyone who uses your site."
