But "We, as technologists" need to understand that that customization is a hard thing for many people. Most people, especially the people that part of what is announced today is targeted at, need something that is baked into the operating system and easier to manage.

If an accessibility feature requires someone to get the help of someone else to setup it is already a failure right out the gate. They are still reliant on someone else to help manage their phone.

Now yes there are situations where this is impossible to avoid, particularly for vision impaired people since you need to first set that up (but even that there are attempts to address this by the phone setup having those systems turned on by default).

But those are the exceptions and should not be the rule for accessibility features.

Edit:

Just to be clear there is obviously a market for highly customizable accessibility tools similar to the Xbox Adaptive Controller which would need someone else's assistance with.

But not everyone needs this level of support and where possible we should be making tools that allow someone to be fully self reliant and not rely on someone else for setup.

That is something that we technologists can fix on Android. We can't do that on iOS (without finding a vulnerability).
