Universalizing statements like "100% accessible" are usually bad ideas. In this case, it's driven not by administrators but the Department of Justice, which is rulemaking accessibility via consent decrees. I think a lot of people miss that and just blame the administrators. Rulemaking is a long process, and the rules being made are stuck in a time before AI could reliably read a book to a blind person: the rules shift the onus onto the content creators, when we've created a whole new ecosystem of ways to eliminate the onus. The DOJ should probably step back and stop trying to regulate this, because the market has already solved it.
