Is this really true? Messaging like this will cause a lot of developers to just give up. Most places I've worked at did accessibility at best as a best effort sort of thing. After reading this, there will be no attempts made to improve the state of affairs.

Perhaps that will be an improvement? I don't know.

This adage has been "the first rule of ARIA" since the beginning.

There are a few ARIA "widgets" that have no HTML equivalent, such as Tabs or a spreadsheet-like Grid. Those are heavily documented so you can basically copy and paste whenever you need them.

Avoiding sprinkling ARIA on already-semantic HTML, because this can lead to confusing or inconsistent behaviors for the end user.
