Why should internal tools not have these things? That kind of argument smells of, internal tools can be slow. No.

Seems we should lift up Dear ImGui -- contribute, donate, feedback (document, gather requirements, etc), etc -- as opposed to suggest we not use it.

Dear ImGui is lacking good and focused code contributors, I'm stretching myself quite thin already and unfortunately pragmatically it currently wouldn't be wise for me to attempt working on accessibility features :( Right now the state of things is that a majority of even the simplest PR are poor quality, so I'm not too hopeful that such a complex feature would magically start getting good contributions. I am personally just accepting that things are going to take years to move forward. I'd rather have them more slow and stay sane. Dear ImGui is intentionally gated and made fugly for those reasons as well.

But any effort to document, specs, clarify etc would be helpful and not just to Dear ImGui.

Accessibility is a whole world that is hard to grasp when you are not a end-user, API are large, confusing, poorly documented, and I presume that there are a large variety of tools and use cases and it's even hard to gauge what are the low-hanging fruits that would be the best to implement/bind.

Given how obfuscated Web stacks are nowadays (since they do try to prevent unauthorized scrapping and automation), I'm honestly also a little bit surprised that nowadays screen readers aren't relying on OCR more?

I appreciate the work you do and I think what you're saying is completely fair and understandable.

I don't think they shouldn’t on principle, but they might not need to have them. For example, if there's a limited number of people who are going to work with the tools, and you know that none of them need such features, it could be entirely reasonable not to worry about them.

That's making a bet that you'll have absolutely no need to hire someone for that team nor that any of the existing members of the team will develop the need for accessibility features.
