The “#a11y is not accessible” discussion wants to get back to the early 2010s.

It’s a signifier, for some users (for example who are dyslexic) it’s easier to type, you need some explanation, like any in-group language. Even accessibility needs explanation.

It’s not a big deal and the energy is better used elsewhere.

Quick tip: a11y and a brief numeronyms primer - The A11Y Project

The numeronym 'a11y' is shorthand for 'accessibility.'

.@w3c WCAG should not be developed/designed for the benefit of #accessibility testing vendors. It is there to improve the user experience of disabled people.

I am horrified to say that it is mid-2023 and browsers are moving backward on accessibility support for elements with CSS display properties.

Chrome decided anything with `display: contents` is just text. Safari regressed overall but did tables dirty.

Firefox is the only one to have improved and now has the best support overall.

It’s Mid-2022 and Browsers (Mostly Safari) Still Break Accessibility via Display Properties

It was late 2020 when I last tested how browsers use CSS display properties to break the semantics of elements.
