That's a poor analogy - a house is private property which only you and invited guests may enter. A website you publish on the Internet can be viewed by anyone who discovers it. Not including accessibility features excludes disabled users from reaping the benefits of your site. So a better analogy would be "if I build a public space do I have to make it accessible?" You betcha!

I guess this is a philosophical discourse. I simply build my own apps not for everyone and its not my problem if someone has a problem with that. If I build something thats meant for the public I try to build it accessible, but only if I feel like its needed. Seems like there is a market for accessibility software, why not jump on it? Why isn't the accessibility software good enough to not make the devs go extra steps on projects that are clearly not meant for everyone? The internet is for everyone, sure. My apps aren't. Simple as that.

Is it not an extra step to intentionally hide the scroll bar? And thus, simply no extra work to just... not? Scrolls bars are a convenient feature for all users, nobody is judging the appearance of your website around how it looks with a scroll bar.

Sooner or later, you will be less able than you are now. Everyone faces disability, it's just a matter of when, or how rapidly it happens.
