I have no idea if 508 compliance does anything to help. After 10 minutes of reading, all I have found are nonsense websites that have not specified a single concrete aspect of what it might mean, except putting alt text in images.

I've certainly heard of 508 in the context of WCAG, but I don't know what benefit it could give unless it actually prescribed accelerator keys with consistent visual hints about what it those accelerator keys would be.

Web designers and developers spend way too much time mucking with React or other frameworks, spoiling the natural usability of web browsers. They are more concerned with restyling forms away from the platform's native, visually identifiable controls, than they are with making forms usable or speedy or consistent.

Old terminal based text entry systems were so much better at data entry than the crap we've built since then. I really wish that at least one web framework would take this seriously, given how prevalent web based data system are. Instead, we get a constant churn of harder to use, slower, and more and more abstract web frameworks.
