@ander_dapo A lot of this problem happens because, whatever we say about capitalism, it is really good at incentivizing individuals to do things they, personally, don't care about. In an open source product, you only get accessibility if that's someone's passion, and that person has the skills to submit directly to the codebase. Microsoft and Apple pay developers to do accessibility, so they can meet their legal obligations. It doesn't matter if the iMessage guy working on accessibility cares or not. It's a requirement, so he'll do it because he's being paid to do it. In open source, things only generally happen when someone is excited about them.
