I've found that the tech industry often is. Trying to get managers to set aside time to iron out accessibility issues is like pulling teeth. Trying to get other developers to take it seriously is almost as bad. Often you count yourself lucky if the bare legal minimum is implemented.

Accessibility is very important, and if accessibility features are implemented well they'll often be useful even to people without disabilities, but do any CS/SE or code bootcamp programs take the topic seriously? I'm sure it must be taught somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be common at all. Can you even imagine 21st century university architecture department that didn't cover ADA compliance? That'd be unthinkable.

I can easily imagine it: architecture departments from universities in other countries don't necessarily have to cover compliance with USA laws.
