It was real world use by COSMIC that motivated Iced to add a11y support in the first place
So Discord using gpui could mean it may get the needed features

I don't understand. You can do accessibility with GPUI today. I linked a repo that shows how.

Yes, and this is good progress (my comment downthread was before I just looked). According to it it uses accesskit, which is quite good already but still in development so accessibility would not be as good as using UIA directly. I am hopeful though that accesskit (which is also used in Godot) will keep getting better and these gaps can be closed.

Yeah, and big products like discord using them should help push that along.
You can’t exactly lump them together.
