I'll defend Meta for once. Let's take accessibility out of the picture for a moment. Imagine you have an idea to sell a product and have 100 potential customers. Your research indicates 95% of those prospects need a set of use cases to be solved in order to be convinced to buy the product. 5% need a very unique, different, and challenging set of use cases. What should you do with your $10M product development budget for version 1.0? Does it make sense to equally prioritize both sets of use cases and users? Of course not. If your company was developing a new product/service, would they not prioritize requirements based on the percentage of customers that would benefit from each? If Meta never addressed people with disabilities, that would be a major PR problem for them. They have billions of users today and obviously want all of them and more in their metaverse. Is it realistic to believe they'd forever ignore the huge, raw number of users with various accessibility needs? No.
