Supplying your end users the tools they need to do their work is absolutely your job. What do you even mean?

Providing a solution for people with disabilities is not a developer's job. If a group need something special because of their disabilities, probably they already have a medical report for that, and a solution recommended by their health institution. The health organization may want to employ me (I would not accept though) and develop a solution for them, this would not be a direct relationship between me and the person with a disability.
Accessibility is concern of a developer, however accessibility is for everyone, not only for the people who have disabilities. People with disabilities may benefit of accessibility features.

Im going to pile on here and implore you as best I can to check your priors here. You are coming across as incredibly rude and unhinged. I’m sorry that a blind person…hurt you at some point? I don’t even know. But your behaviour is frankly unacceptable.

I didn't get hurt, however they have a ratio of disability. Dishonesty starts at that point. Some see 10%, some 20%, etc. Anyone in that community will need to weigh their morality whether they really see or not, this is why I don't recommend my collages to spend their time and being emotionally vulnerable in that topic.
I don't think they will listen to a recommendation if they are professionals.
- Apple is very much a personal computer company. They make iMovie, Photos, Apple TV, Pages, etc for personal end users.
Maybe
- many people in the blind community are dishonest? This just sounds like discrimination to me.
So many dishonest in that community. Calling a dishonest person dishonest isn't a discrimination.
"Most of the blind community are dishonest" is a wrong interpretation of my statement.
There are a lot of dishonest people in Istanbul. 34857345 peoples live in Istanbul. 435 are dishonest. It doesn't mean People living in Istanbul are dishonest.
I may be wrong. However as a professional in the IT industry, my recommendation to the my colleagues, don't fall for someone if they say they have a disability and demand something. It's not our concern.
