>They are leading where others have often abrogated the responsibility to build inclusive products. We should celebrate this.
What "others" are there except Microsoft Windows and Linux - both also having plenty users here saying that they see those OSes as ahead of Apple? Seems to me that at best Apple is on par, not someone to celebrate above others.
I was thinking about when Google launched their progressive web apps page a few years ago with the Accessibility section marked as ‘coming soon’ – not good enough!
I was also thinking about the marketing oomph Apple have put behind innovative accessibility features over the last year or so: https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ It’s great to see a company’s accessibility page being more than a dry statement of conformance with WCAG 2.1. As far as I could tell, they were the first major tech company to take a lead on this.
They clearly do need to do more work. As do we all!
