I didn't mean to imply no other "worlds" -- sorry if I did! I was just using that "both worlds" metaphor to refer to the two particular forces I perceived to be referenced in the parent comment and the article, ostensibly at odds with each other: the benefits of having many devices with which to test the product, and the benefits (not that this produces exclusively benefits) of limiting the scope of workstation device management. In other words, I'm just suggesting a way to avoid a narrow testbed given a narrow workstation issuance policy. I happen to struggle with the trackpad on non-Mac laptops to an extreme degree, and while I don't put that in the same category as reasonable accommodations required by the ADA of course (probably just lack of practice), it does help me (along with web UI a11y training and formal job responsibility) empathize with the point you are making to some extent. Glad to hear it eventually worked out with the CEO.
