Exactly what is wrong about "to do XYZ click here"?

  From the suggestion email¹: > "Click here" assumes everyone has a computer and mouse. And it's not even needed: most users of the Web understand how to follow links. 1. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2001Sep/0007.html https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2001Sep/0007.htm...

    Sounds equivalent to saying we shouldnt the words "he" or "she" because some people identify with neither. Exclusionary towards people of different mouse abilities.

      Towards differently abled devices would've been funnier wording.

  it's a little pedantic, but hyperlinks should describe what you get when you click on them not "<a>click here</a> to read more about dogs" but "read more in our <a>article about dogs</a>" imagine not being able to see and tabbing through a series of "click here"s

  The idea is that some people don’t click - that refers mainly to people using a mouse, and many people are not using a mouse. So it is overstating information about what to do.
