I empathize with you on this. I am also often frustrated by poor design that creates obstacles to accessing features that should help, and the poor functionality of some features. One of my pet peeves is the number of levels required to pair my hearing aids with Bluetooth, and the number of attempts that must be made to actually pair --- so many that I often give up in frustration. Disabilities make life difficult, and technology should be designed to make them less so.

I suspect that the "accessibility" aids are designed by well-intentioned, abled people, without sufficient user testing by people with actual disabilities.

I do wish that Apple would provide an easy-to-access communications channel to facilitate the transfer of constructive ideas from the disabled/handicapped user base.

I am not aware of any advocacy groups like that, unfortunately.

Thanks, I will check it out.
