After reading this thread, I don't want a new Mac anymore. I do wish there were posts like this going over Android and Windows' accessibility frameworks, but I'll take what I can get.

Yes, that's definitely the case with AT-SPI on Linux (and other free Unixes). That's one of the issues I aimed to fix with Newton, the prototype ground-up redesign of the accessibility stack that the GNOME Foundation funded last year. I hope I can resume work on that soon.
