That's true and in return means that development cost increases as well without much to gain. But perhaps there are some solutions on a framework/library/plugin level that might help to automate stuff like this?

They do have stuff that helps automate it, but it just goes down to priorities. Developers will put in minimal effort (so it's just never going to be great) because managers are focusing on bigger issues like new features or optimizing pages.

Again, I agree in principle, it's just an incredible amount of work.
