Riddle me this - why would you want to disable something that increases usability of an application? (Yes, this is a loaded question - I never said these features are bad, just that usability and accessibility are sometimes at odds with each other.)

Sometimes users may prefer to reduce the degree of accessibility of an application in favor of aesthetics.

  • I have my opinion on aesthetics of additional ways of repeating information already available by color coding. But to each their own.

    Other than that, is enabling/disabling any of the aforementioned features ever a question of aesthetics?

    • For example, opting to not enable high-contrast mode is a question of aesthetics. Arguably reading text would become easier for the user, but they prefer to sacrifice a little of the readability in favor of looks.
