...and 5. Everybody else.
It's very easy when developing to forget that you've read the specs, looked at the designs, asked questions at meetings, but users have not. It's a separate skill to be able to set aside what you know and then see what the available information actually tells you. ...and to remember that not everyone participates in the same culture, so not everyone understands the same symbols and patterns. Is there really anything about a hamburger menu that communicates its purpose? A user who is unfamiliar with the Internet may not think to click it, or may be afraid to click on things to see what happens.
There is no "us and them" in accessibility. (unless I've been spelling it incorrectly, which is always a possibility)
