I think you should actually read about accessibility requirements.
> Most web sites can be made accessible simply by making them work normally and reasonably... it's generally the browser's job (and various other things like screenreaders) to make them accessible, assuming the web developer isn't doing something particularly weirdly. Isn't it?
It's not the browsers legal responsibility to do so, no. It's the responsibility of the business to do that.
I'm not talking about whose legal responsibility it is, I'm talking about whose responsibility it makes sense for it to be. Anyway, if the browser did nothing to address accessibility, laws would be made to require them to do so.
It makes sense to address it universally, if possible, rather than case by case. Surely you agree that someone who simply puts a document on the web should not have to develop their own screen reader. Or should it just be businesses that are required to do so? That has obvious problems.
