By not marketing their software as accessible; by not telling the author in an explicit email that they would solve any accessibility issues he found?

If they had been clear up front about their accessibility support, I doubt this would have been an issue in the first place.

It is accessible, just not with some specific software. From what I can see, they tried to solve it, but could not due to lack of cooperation by the software's creator. Maybe they should have spent more effort, but then this was not a paying customer apparently.

That specific software is the most popular software in use on Windows. That makes it something of a required use-case if you want to claim accessibility on Windows.
