It's possible to build websites with accessibility features, is it not?

Partially, but the point is that you're (manually and expensively) reinventing the wheel that desktop toolkits had already built for you.

Sure, but with the end benefit being a universal UI toolkit.

Also, 'expensively' is debatable, I'm sure it'd be possible to have reusable accessibility components, wouldn't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel for each new web app.
