As was said in another comment on this thread, some agencies chose to add accessibility into their DEI programs. A11y needs were already legally protected (and still is). Unfortunately by tying it into a political concept (that is not precisely protected by law) that was implemented via an executive order, the agencies that chose to add the A to their DEI ended up putting those budgets for a11y at a temporary risk by executive order too. The government still needs to follow the ADA law and budget for that accordingly.
