I think it's not that I didn't care before, it's that I had a different perspective because I didn't know what accessibility was really about. What I've slowly come to realize, thanks to Dreamwidth, is that accessibility goes hand-in-hand with usability even though they're on different levels (necessity vs comfort). Thinking about both as a cohesive unit benefits everybody in the long term and is a much better approach, and probably an easier one too even though it seems like it adds initial constraints. I feel like you (general you) miss a lot of opportunities to make things easier for a lot of people when you make accessibility a separate issue which only concerns a specific minority of users. This goes for non-Internet things too. I hope I'm making sense.
