The W3C has lots of documentation and guidance on how to deal with this issue, since it's part of their Web Content Accessibility Guidelines: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/use-of-color.htm..

I think you're being a bit pedantic. The point is that the response referenced a specific book written by Hobbes to support its argument, which lends the essay a lot more credibility than it would otherwise have. Though now I wonder if

GitHub uses <details> for most of their dropdowns and it does generally work well, though you'll run into issues if you ever need to break out of the DOM hierarchy (for example, to have the popup overflow a scrollable container).

That's only one data point, and I'm sure plenty of people could say the opposite about their companies. In my case, I've been involved in tons of engineering hiring meetings at my company and diversity has never swayed things
