I have a deeply disturbing personal story about what can happen when multiple movements on a screen can do. I'm going to tell it to you now I don't know if I ever have please use this as a cautionary Story not sympathy for myself but this is how serious accessibility really is.

"The Web is fundamentally not aligned with the way mobile phones have been made to work." - Alex Russell, 2016
We cannot efficiently address the form factor differences and network issues with only one programming paradigm. Or too many. I'll leave you to enjoy his take on that!

I am distressed how easily we switched programming paradigms midstream at the expense of accessibility, inclusion, digital divide, internationalization, meaningful content. We will learn and learn again that one size, one code, one methodology, one idea simply will never fit all.

Finally back on track with book got stuck on markup and CSS as core to accessibility and how we since 2009 are failing to evolve markup since HTML5. I am not anti API. I'm not against scripting. (1)

In 1999 #WCAG was published as a #W3C recommendation. We have not scaled inclusion despite fierce advocacy for accessibility? The message remains unheard, unwanted or misunderstood by too many. What has worked? What is failing? We #a11y advocates need success strategies now.
