I don鈥檛 see a problem with this. It looks like they鈥檙e talking about non-a11y apps that abuse the a11y APIs rather than actual AT apps

For varying definitions of "abuse", yes. But that's the only way to make e.g. password managers work pre-Oreo, AFAIK. LastPass, Dashlane, etc. should be worried by this.
