> Yes I know that, what's that got to do with not having accessibility?

Many (most?) will have different accessibility expectation for software from each of these categories, particularly since in many jurisdictions government and commercial have accessibility laws to follow or expectations on service because of payment/funding. In this case the question is what does accessibility have to do with the project not the other way around and the answer is "whatever people want to contribute to the project" not "what simonh finds acceptable of the project".

> And no it doesn't have to be perfect, it comes down to what we consider acceptable.

But you don't decide what's considered acceptable for someone else's freely available open source software they do. It's also not translated into every language and won't run well on every device. A very large portion of the world can't use it but it's just someone sharing what they've managed to make not someone saying everyone in the world will find the software acceptable or that they owe any functionality out of it to anyone else.
