I have been working on the web for 20 years, which isn't much but it's long enough to notice a pattern. 1. Accessibility tool handles common things badly 2. Accessibility nerds try (and fail) to get everyone to stop doing common thing 3. Accessibility tool handles common thing correctly There is a lot of great stuff you can do for accessibility, but always ask yourself if it is adding more data (like aria labels) or avoiding something you legitimately understand is not going to be compatible with accessible browsing (like onClick components inside onClick components). But things like "don't use basic HTML functionality because tools are bad" is advice that will look very silly in 5 years when the cycle continues. I guess one more is to be very careful not to assume anything is good or bad for accessibility. Most of the people talking have no experience with it whatsoever, and have not even installed the most popular software.
