The trend I was talking about is small, well-designed simple to use, truly cross-platform header only libraries.
For accessibility I think that's sadly a part that people in general don't seem to care a lot. And while some of the big libraries do a lot for you there, it also depends a lot on how it really is used. The trend to Electron and others also isn't really helping there.
To be fair though, I am happy about the trends that this topic is actually something people even are aware of. Five, ten, fifteen years ago this was very different. I remember a time when using HTML over Flash for accessibility reasons was considered a non-argument. Now you see that topic brought up "a lot".

In large companies, there was already a strong emphasis on accessibility 10-15 years ago, if only because there's a bunch of requirements if you want to sell software to the government. As for small and simple libraries... it's great when the subject matter is also small and simple. UI is not, though.
