> When I refer to education for developers however, I'm not talking about empathy and understanding of the AT user, I'm referring to the mechanics behind the technology. These are two very different things.

Yes, no disagreement here that developers need to be trained on how assistive technology accesses, interacts, and interfaces with content, apps, APIs, and specifications. All the points are valid and I agree on the education bit as indicated by my bullet on education that these things need to be a part of the curriculum and code examples used in books, courses, etc.
