The place where I live is very good at pretending to do the right thing while doing absolutely nothing.

For example a touristic social account managed by some government entity posted some extra complicated wheelchair lift (that will inevitably break in 1 month at most) to show how disabled people are well integrated.

Meanwhile of course the real situation is that people on wheelchair can go almost nowhere at all. Newer public transport has even worse accessibility than before, elevators are mostly broken at all times and regular ramps are missing, doors regularly have super strong springs and a button to open them (which breaks all the time) when they should just have a much weaker spring instead.

Designers I've worked with are like the tourist social media account. Showing the one single place they made accessible and explicitly saying in meetings "we are good people, we care for disabled people"… and then hating me for pointing out the million other things that are not accessible.

Of course they love to show off how good they are to the poor disabled people, but that doesn't mean anything until some government reminds us that we are in breach of contract unless we make our GUI accessible.

Which everyone is only doing because it's an industry fad likely stemming from copycatting one or two instances where it was done for legitimate reasons.
