Although he has a point - it seems overdiscussed compared to other types of accessibility or design topics.

I dunno, color blindness is brought up just as often here IMO.

On the whole I'd say it's a good thing because it means that the various awareness campaigns are working. Better that this kind of stuff is "overdiscussed" than not discussing it at all.

And besides, this focus has some useful side effects. For example, pages designed with screen readers in mind are also that much easier to interact with from scripts and other automation.
