Work for a government agency (in the US). We're required by law to meet accessibility standards, and at my workplace, we often do so through the path of least resistance – not using JavaScript to reimplement features that are already accessible and thereby take on the responsibility for implementing accessibility ourselves.

Seriously, I've seen pages that create links by using a styled <span> tag with an onclick even that merely called a function that set document.location using a hard-coded value.

Did developers forget that `<a href=....>` exists?
