Building rich web UI that conforms to accessibility guidelines is nontrivial. A single violation of a WCAG 2.1 success criterion is considered a failure to conform. For example, you can fail if any part of your UI doesn't handle reflow correctly on a 1280x1024px resolution at 400% zoom (equivalent to 320x256px). A government mandate requiring corporate-owned websites be made accessible would require a small army of auditors to enforce.

They all have to be carefully followed. Why should computing, when provided by multi billion dollar businesses, be such a free for all in comparison?
