> developers who didn't understand the web platform well enough to design proper accessible controls.
And i actually think that it is _better_ for a developer not to have to do their own accessibility controls, but delegate this problem to the component framework. They have to know about the problem, but not have to spend cognitive budget thinking about it while they compose their UI from framework components - this should _automatically_ be taken care of by the design of the framework.
But you're using the same component framework regardless of whether you use React or not: it's the same underlying elements that you decide between, and the same process of configuring then correctly to be accessible.
