No one cares about accessibility when ad dollars are at stake.

I'm pretty sure Facebook considers pissed off regulators a regular cost of doing business.

They're not focusing on sites like FB, because using them isn't a requirement of any meaningful task.

Lawyers are definitely going after things like companies' job sites. Applying for a job is a protected action and no discrimination is allowed, either intentional or not.
