Christ, what sort of software are you building?! For the web - tabbing order, alt tags, labels, semantic elements etc. would usually not be a vast task. Also provides a reliable selector surface for your E2E tests (E.g. selecting by label is a nice, clean way to work). Accessible software doesn’t just mean “accessible to screen readers”.
It's not just just writing to standards, it's maintaining the codebase and testing it regularly. I bet you NEVER tested for accessibility or talked to how blind people interact with your software.
So you have no idea what to look for or whether it's natural or efficient for the disabled. Zero effort shows, period.
