The takes in this thread are incredibly poor. They’re poorly informed, they are often contradictory, they are frequently some weird antiwork spillover or something? Bizarre.
Basically, if you are interested in actually understanding this, don’t look to the top comments here. Wow.
Every single person I message regularly uses iMessage. As far as I know none of them are “iPhone users” in the sense that they particularly care, they just use ‘the normal thing’ (which is iPhone).
So for the opposite question, I’ve never had the passing thought of missing out on what Android users do either.
I wonder if people just sort of mostly self select into mostly non-overlapping groups?
The issue is that 1-2% of users of a random service might use screen readers. As an industry we’ve agreed that it often makes sense to drop support for browsers with more market share. Every screen reader is going to have an order of magnitude smaller user base than the browsers we’ve decided to stop supporting.
“No one” is going to do meaningful cross-reader testing. The only reason “anyone” does any accessibility work at all is the law (and thank god for it).
