Accessibility features have been part of most most OSes since the outset of windowing. The glaring exception is the multitude of *nix OSes - they have largely ignored them. Apple, Windows, OS/2 and others have all got the features. The problem is getting the programmers to use them. If Qt and other development products don't provide proper support, it only shows how entrenched the problem is.
As a computer consultant, I spent years fighting with programmers (rarely managers) over these things. It is simple enough to do if you consider it from the outset rather than try to patch things up as an afterthought. It's just good design.
