I am talking about the fact that Python promotes Tkinter
Python uses tkinter as the only choice available for the stdlib.
Others choices not in the stdlib are available for those who want
something better.
The users shouldn't want something better. Everyone should create GUIs which
are accessible for everyone by default, without making any special effort
for doing this.
The programmers should make special efforts for making GUIS which are not
accessible for as many users as possible if they want this but this way
shouldn't be promoted by Python.
TK are not accessible for screen readers,
I did not know that.
Most of the programmers don't know that and they don't even need to know
that, but if a lib that create accessible GUIS would be promoted, most of
the Python programmers would use that lib and would create good apps by
default, without even knowing this.
On the other hand, if they started to learn to create a bad GUI, of course
that after that they will think that a supplemental effort is necessary for
creating good GUIS with another lib and they won't like it.
