"Truly accessible and inclusive websites require a lot of thought and planning." Absolutely. Lighthouse does not even audit for what is required of a truly accessible website, which is why I'm surprised the author couldn't reach such a low bar.

Lighthouse does have its limits. If I really want to audit basic accessibility checkpoints of my website I use wave.webaim.org/ because Lighthouse sets too low of a bar. Every website should try to be accessible as possible and Lighthouse doesn't even test for enough.
