Accessibility is mostly not about screen readers

Teams hear accessibility and picture a screen reader. Screen reader users matter, and they are a small share of the people a poorly built page turns away.

Who else it affects

Anyone on a phone in bright sunlight needs the contrast. Anyone with a trackpad injury needs the keyboard navigation. Anyone on a slow connection needs the page to work before the JavaScript arrives.

Building for the edges usually improves the middle.
