> LLM companies could easily have made a similar impact by leaning on accessibility tooling. Pushing companies to better support ARIA standards online would have made a huge impact for the better.
If anything, they'd have the reverse impact, unfortunately. The thing is, the companies whose sites/apps/resources would be accessed by LLMs don't want this. That's the entire point of the article we're discussing.
All I'm saying is, accessibility is the only interoperability wedge they can't just close off, without a huge community backlash and in some cases because of compliance reasons.
Yeah that's totally fair, I diverted a bit and was only thinking about companies I actually see wanting to support external LLMs with APIs.
Expedia makes sense, for example, and it'd be nice if they had more of a reason to improve accessibility on their site rather than building out and maintaining an API service specifically for MCP.
