Well, that's why :)

For most serious applications, accessibility isn't a second thought, it's a requirement and it's very hard to implement correctly.

So the solution is to build applications around less of a common base? I don't follow the logic, with respect to Zed. I get what you mean if there's a first-party UI solution in your language (e.g. Swift), but in that case you don't need an open-source UI library.
