> It's estimated that 265,000 website accessibility related demand letters were sent in 2020 alone.
Full claim from the https://www.accessibility.com/complete-report-2020-website-a... report reads "We estimate that approximately 265,000 website accessibility related demand letters were sent to U.S. businesses in 2020." "In 2020, we estimate that the 2,058 formal website accessibility lawsuits filed represent less than 1% (0.78%) of demand letters sent. This means that out of the estimated 265,000 demand letters sent to U.S. businesses, nearly 263,000 go undetected in formal counts. "
Of those 500 alone were filed by one person against hotel websites. Amazing.

Let me guess...you have an app like Accessibe's that the shop owner installs, which basically just puts an overlay, but it doesn't really solve the underlying problem and the shop owner still gets sued by the ADA troll farms.

If that was true ADA guidelines wouldn't be mandatory.
Not necessarily, the market often isn't rational
