I think there's something to what you say, but if you follow some of
these applications and apps in the mainstream press and blogosphere,
you'll find that sighted people can be pretty demanding as well.
I don't think the problem is that developers have us trained like this.
I think it's more that accessibility does add another layer of
complexity. There's also a fuzzy line between inaccessible, usable and
so on. What may be a bug or a point of inaccessibility to one person may
just be a different way of getting something done to another.

have been conditioned to just put up with it.

Hi There,
you say, in regard to bugs, "on any device. Our job is to find them and
report them to Apple Accessibility right away."
Actually it's not. People who are not beta testers do not deserve to be
treated as such.
this trend toward effectively making the general user population into
free beta testers is at best, lazy and disgraceful and disrespectful.
Make no mistake, this is not an Apple issue per se, but a more
generalized software paradigm that I find absolutely abhorrent
Unfortunately, the general public either does not know ways they can
change this or cannot escape the need or technology addiction to send a
message that this is not acceptable to them.
So for us, no, this is not our job. However, I think you meant something
a bit differently from the way I took it. :) Since we are users of this
software, yes, we should take every opportunity to make our voices heard
and voice clearly and positively what we need and / or want.
I say positively, because having our voices heard is not only a right
but a privilege. So be civil, make it count, and treat people with
respect. Apple has gone out of their way to make giving feedback easy
and available to us so use it and thank the people you come into contact
with.
I think they'll be glad you did and it will surely make them happy to
pass your needs and desires along to the right folks.
Just my three cents. :)
Smiles and happy weekend to y'all,
Cara :)
