Accessibility implementations frequently are more complex than the entire UI drawing bits. Most custom UI toolkits never implement accessibility, even decades after creation.

That hope is misplaced.

I agree about the complexity, but the core developers understand that the accessibility support is crucial and that's where my hope comes from.

That's good news, but I would continue the timer there. That issue is from March 2023 so the counter is at 3 years, 3 months. Let's see if they have anything decent before 10 years.
