Perfect compliance with Sccessibility can be hard and complicated; but have another look at the original article. The things being asked for are not hard or complicated.

Making no effort just because a perfect effort would be hard comes across as a cop out. Would we accept this so easily if we were discussing testing?

If you can push back on $BOSS, certainly. But, frankly, it's way too easy to make inaccessible content.

It should be impossible to make inaccessible content. We could have browsers and/or compilers that just break the whole page if it isn't accessible.

I dunno, satisfying both "not low contrast" and "not bright colour schemes" together, along with a good design in general, requires a moderate amount of knowledge.

I'm not arguing that it shouldn't be done, but the idea that it's effortless is simply not true.
