I've questioned the validity and usefulness of VPATs.
After all, the V stands for "voluntary." And when using GSA's template, the author can write just about any gibberish or BS they want.
There's no mandated testing or evaluation done by the government; they take the word of the vendor as stated in the VPAT.
And surely no one is surprised that the PDF is not tagged. So many PDFs from "authorities" are not accessible, such as the WCAG and PDF/UA standards from the ISO.
Gah!
