While I understand the goal of accessibility, it is not realistic. For instance, what if the person's disability is mental retardation? According to the guidelines, if the content is too difficult to comprehend for everyone, then it is inaccessible.

In the physical world, we do similarly stupid things such as disabled parking spaces in front of gyms or bars. Why should bars even have parking lots? However, socialism is about spreading misery, not accessibility. As long as everything is inconvenient for everyone as possible, some people reason that we have an equitable society.

Should web sites that deal with art (paintings) be forced to have their content accessible to the visually impaired? Should mountain tops be made wheelchair accessible for those who can't move their limbs?

Obviously, if everyone had the same talents and skills, we could make equal accessibility a reality. That is not what equality is. All people are created equal in that they all have the same basic needs, not that they all achieve the same goals.

Where we draw the lines of reason is very subjective.
