With DOM you get accessibility integration. At least in the EU if you provide a web service you have to be accessible, otherwise you can get sued.

IANAL,afaik the accessibility law is only for government monopoly services. But I don't think it matters, because if you use the DOM you still need to test if the app works in screen readers etc, even normal websites have trouble with accessibility.
AFAIK it applies to everyone. But you don't get automatically fined, someone has to sue first. Maybe there has to be a business relation between the user and the web site? And yes, with HTML you need to still use all the right tags and attributes to make it accessible. Firefox has a nice accessibility tree view in its dev tools that you can use for debugging. Is there something like that for this toolkit? Is it somehow exposing an accessibility tree? Replicating everything in DOM for accessibility?
