I care about WCAG, PCI, GDPR and things like privacy policies, security and accessibility. However, I work for clients who simply want an inexpensive (as possible) website that they like the looks of. My competitors sell increasingly inexpensive solutions that lack these considerations, further driving down the expectations of price by the client (race to the bottom). Convincing them to care AND pay more is difficult. The lawsuits have made them afraid, and in some cases frantic. I don't believe FUD is the most effective way to improving accessibility. Maybe the ends justifies the means, but I cringe thinking we're lining the pockets of law firms for only marginal improvement.
