I agree in many scenarios, but for the two you mentioned it seems like the <dialog> and <details> elements provide accessible solutions out of the box?
They do, most issues that arise from making things accessible are self inflicted. Some people just want to redesign things for the sake of design while ignoring a core principle of design (accessibility) over aesthetics.
Sounds harsh but maybe somethings SHOULDN'T be designed a certain way because it breaks a11y when there are other roads to be taken that can still look pleasant, be accessible, and way easier to maintain (less brittle JS to worry about).
