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.

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.
