The problem is that this niche is not stereotypically a very well paying niche. The intersection of high earners and disabled people is quite small (and the intersection between lowest 20% of income earners and disabled is quite large)n So, there's not really a lot of money (if any) to be made by focusing solely on this niche.

That's why the ADA and various government laws came into existence - nobody was catering to the niche since it wasn't lucrative enough.

I made good money in the compiler business by catering to niches that were completely ignored by the other vendors, large and small.

I'm also happy to get any accessibility problems in dlang.org and digitalmars.com fixed, if anyone wants to notify me of any problems.
