Good post! It's a little disappointing that automated tools don't appear to have significantly improved since I was regularly doing accessibility testing around ten years ago.
It's also worth noting that modern frameworks make it far too easy to produce inaccessible content: e.g. attaching click handlers to elements that don't normally receive keyboard focus. I don't think the automated tools report this, so testing with keyboard input is definitely required.
Thank you! That's a really good point. I don't think that they report those, even though that should be fairly easy to check, flag and at least mark for manual review.
