The launch also excluded EU. Those are 450 million people.

In contrast, worldwide (including EU) there are 43 million blind people.

So acting outraged because the launch couldn't address everyone everywhere all at once is disingenuous. They're working on it. 70 million sign-ups in 2 days is not too shabby.

Accessibility is a time pit relevant to few people who are never happy.

Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. But don't worry, you might not be a part of the disabled community right now, but one day you will. We all will. "It's a matter of when, not if."
