Following that talk, I mentioned to a lady from freedom0 that I
perceived badly their shifting the responsibility for accessibility on
the maintainers (we already do a _lot_ for Free Software).

She replied they tried various unsuccessful approaches, that this more
provocative one was yielding more result.

(As far as I'm concerned I rather motivates me to stop my accessibility
efforts so as to shift from "it's your responsibility" to "thank you".
So I'm not sure how their measure the effectiveness of their new approach :/)

Don't feed the troll?
