I think that part of the issue is that every disability is unique to some degree. No two people who are blind have blindness to the same degree. Colorblind people have several variations they could be experiencing. Deafness also follows a similar pattern, whereby some people can’t hear well where others can’t hear at all; or in some cases have a constant sound in their ear that drowns out everything else. There are neurological disorders that range from not being able to read sentences normally because the words start to become jumbled to being unable to focus on large amounts of text. There are physical disabilities of all sorts that affect the arms and hands or even the ability to sit upright to look at the computer screen.
Because of that, there are two options:
build a desktop environment custom-tailored to each individuals needs.
build some general purpose accessibility options that can (and must) be adjusted to meet an individuals needs, which may or may not be able to meet them 100%.
Out of the two, the second one is far more feasible, and more possible to improve upon.
The issue is how much stuff seems to just say. Let’s not bother at all. I will not the worst OS software for this has commercial names attached to it. Even when OS if some big company is responsible for funding. It’s down to the community to fight to get any decent support as a default. Capitalism really dose not want to care about disabled users unless forced. Or medical level profits are attached. But lets ;leave that mess out for now.

Well put. But yep, that pretty much somes it up.
