And I'll had you want it available on the installer already. Having said that you canct explain all that bloat with accessibility.

Of course. Navigating around the install process without accessibility already enabled is going to be a non-starter for many.

As for why all the bloat? I speculate it's because accessibility features are a second-class citizen at best, and when it comes to optimizing and streamlining, all the effort in development goes into the most-used features, whether or not they are the most essential.
