Good luck enforcing this and keeping friends at work.

Your friends get mad at you for wanting the ability to do your job?

Some “friends”.

No, but realisticly speaking, you are not the most liked person in a company if you had to sue the company for discrimination.

Additionally, I am a tech person, and not a lawyer. Sueing my employer to allow me to work productively doesn't feel like nice way to spend my time.

You wouldn't be suing your company. You'd be suing the company the makes the software your company uses. There'd be no political risk at your employer.

Ah, I was imagining a complaint to management (which admittedly should be private anyway), not a full-on lawsuit.

I'd imagine the first step would be a quiet word with HR. If they are in any way good at their job, they will do the work for you, as their job is to protect the company from tribunals.
