I understand and sympathize with your position. But web developers,
especially ones who must make attractive and interactive designs to satisfy
clients and customers, are being dumped on, too. The entire situation could
be mitigated if only screen readers were held to a standard that made sense.
It could be as ridiculously simple as honoring a CSS media type.

Instead, developers must deal with dumbfounding technologies such as ARIA.
Of course, there are folks who think this is the right approach and for them
I have simply no answer.
