Have you contacted Google accessibility directly about this instead of writing an angry blog post and hoping it gets enough traction that someone who works at google notices? https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/7641084?visi...

Clearly several people working at Google have already noticed because they replied to the report on the issue tracker about it, and they all said that implementing this would be a good idea.

Those were from before this blog post (most recent was December). Sounds like the problem is prioritization, not convincing them it's a good idea.

As far as I know, angry blogging is the only way to contact google directly.

I've contacted them in public and in private. Over five years. Nothing has helped.
